Exhibit: Target Parameters

TARGET controls where the new document will be displayed when the user follows a link. Most of the time, clicking on a link simply loads a new document in the same window where the link was. However, with TARGET, you can have the new document open in a new window, or if you are using frames, in another frame.

You can target a frame by a name you have assigned it. TARGET also has four predefined values, which can be used as if certain windows and frames already have names without you having to assign them: 

•      "_blank"
•      "_parent"
•      "_self"
•      "_top"

Note that each of predefined names starts with an underscore ("_"). They also must be in all lower-case letters.

• TARGET = "_blank" opens the new document in a new window.
• TARGET = "_parent" is used in the situation where a frameset file is nested inside another frameset file. A link in one of the inner frameset documents, which uses "_parent", will load the new document where the inner frameset file had been.
• TARGET = "_self" puts the new document in the same window and frame as the current document. "_self" works the same as if you had not used TARGET at all.
• TARGET = "_top" loads the linked document in the topmost frame... that is, the new page fills the entire window.
