Setting the Target
The target attribute provides a way of specifying to a browser how a link will open in the browser. The default behavior is to open the linked document in the same window/tab. By manually setting the attribute to "_self", the page also remains in the same window/tab.
Other values include:
- "_blank"- Opens the linked document in a new window or tab
- "_parent"- Opens the linked document in the parent frame
- "_top"- Opens the linked document in the full body of the window
- "framename"- Opens the linked document in a named frame
