TARGETS
Up to this point, all the links have been ones that replace the calling page with a new page to
be loaded in your browser window. However, you can use the
target
attribute with the
<a>
tag to assign dif erent ways for a page to appear — known as the browsing context. You may
select from the following browsing contexts using
target
:
_self
replaces the current page; default if no context is assigned.
_blank
opens the new page in a new browser window — a new browsing context.
_parent
opens the new page in the “parent” document of the current page. h e parent
document is typically the browser windows that caused the current page to open.
_top
opens the new page in the full body of the current browser window.
