HTML target Attribute

The target attribute of the <a> element is used to set where the linked document will open. You can set the document to open in a new window, same frame, parent frame, etc.

Following is the syntax −

<a target="_blank|_self|_parent|_top| frame">

Here, _blank is used to open the linked document in new window or tab, _self opens the linked document in the same frame as it was clicked, _parent opens the document in the parent frame, _top opens the linked document in the entire body of the window, frame opens the linked document in a named frame.

Let us now see an example to implement target attribute in <a> element −
