Notes

Remarks

The target property specifies the name or portion of the target window, frame, pane, tab, or other relevant presentation context (that is, an HTML or XHTML frame, iframe, or object element) where a document is opened when the link is activated.

Use target when there are multiple possible targets for the ending resource, such as when the parent document is a multi-frame HTML or XHTML document.
