Target Windows



Targeting withing HTML is accomplished by means of the TARGET

attribute.  This attribute can be added to a variety of HTML tags
to target the links referred to by that tag.
  
The attribute is of the form:




<a href="URL" target="Window_Name"> ... </a>



(Netscape Navigator 2.0* open a new window.)




<a href="window.htm" target="window_name">

Open A Window!
</a>



Open A Window!







TARGET in an A tag. 



This is very straightforward.  The anchor tag normally specifies a link
to be loaded when the active item
 is clicked on,
 adding the TARGET
attribute to the 
anchor tag forces the load of that link into the
targeted window.  Example:

<A HREF="url" 
TARGET="window_name">Targeted 
Anchor</A>


 

TARGET in the BASE tag.



This is used when you want all (or most) of the links in a document to
be targeted to the same window.
  In this case the TARGET 
attribute
establishes a default window_name that all links in 
this document
will be targeted to. This default is of course overridden by specific

instances of the TARGET attribute in individual anchor tags.
Example:

<BASE TARGET="window_name">
	



TARGET in the AREA tag.



The IETF
Internet-Draft of Client-Side Image Maps
defines an area tag.
 This tag describes a shaped area in a 
client-side image
map,
 and provides the link that should be followed when the user clicks 
there.

Adding the TARGET attribute to the area tag forces the load of that
link 
into the targeted window.
Example:

<AREA SHAPE="shape"
COORDS="x,y,..." HREF="url"
TARGET="window_name">




TARGET in the FORM tag.


The form tag normally displays the results of a form submission
in the same window
 the form was submitted from. By adding the 
TARGET
attribute 
to the form tag, the result of the form 
submission is 
instead loaded
into the targeted window.
Example:

<FORM ACTION="url"
TARGET="window_name">




             




Allowed TARGET names



The window name specified by a TARGET attribute must begin with an
alpha-numeric
 character to be valid.  All other window names will be 
ignored.


Exception: There are magic target names 
that all begin with the 
underscore
character.








Magic TARGET names



These names all begin with the underscore character. 
 Any targeted window
name beginning with underscore which is not one
 of these names, 
will be ignored.





TARGET="_blank"


This target will cause the link to always be loaded
 in a new blank
window.  This window is not named.


TARGET="_self"


This target causes the link to always load in the same window the 
anchor 
was clicked in.  This is useful for overriding a globally assigned
BASE target.


TARGET="_parent"


This target makes the link load in the immediate FRAMESET 
parent of

this document.  This defaults to acting like "_self" if the
document has no parent.


TARGET="_top"



This target makes the link load in the full body of the window.
This defaults to
 acting like "_self" if the document is already
at the top.

It is useful for breaking out of an arbitrarily deep FRAME nesting.
