HTML target Attribute
The target attribute of the <area> element allows you to set where the linked document will open, for example, new window, same frame, parent frame, etc.
Following is the syntax −
<area 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 the target attribute of the <area> elemen −
Example
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h2>Learning</h2> <p>Learn these technologies with ease....</p> <img src = /images/usemap.gif alt = "usemap" border = "0" usemap = "#tutorials"/> <map name = "tutorials"> <area shape = "poly" coords = "74,0,113,29,98,72,52,72,38,27" href = "/perl/index.htm" alt = "Perl Tutorial" target = "_blank"/> <area shape = "rect" coords = "22,83,126,125" alt = "HTML Tutorial" href = "/html/index.htm" target = "_blank" /> <area shape = "circle" coords = "73,168,32" alt = "PHP Tutorial" href = "/php/index.htm" target = "_blank" /> </map> </body> </html>
Output
In the above example, we have set the map on the following image−
<img src = /images/usemap.gif alt = "usemap" border = "0" usemap = "#tutorials"/>
Now, we have set the map and area within it for shape −
<map name = "tutorials"> <area shape = "poly" coords = "74,0,113,29,98,72,52,72,38,27" href = "/perl/index.htm" alt = "Perl Tutorial" target = "_blank"/> <area shape = "rect" coords = "22,83,126,125" alt = "HTML Tutorial" href = "/html/index.htm" target = "_blank" /> <area shape = "circle" coords = "73,168,32" alt = "PHP Tutorial" href = "/php/index.htm" target = "_blank" /> </map>
Above, we have set the following to open the linked document in a new window i.e. _blank, which is used to open the linked document in new window or tab
target = "_blank"
