Magic TARGET names

These names all begin with the underscore character. Any targeted window name beginning with underscore which is not one of these names, will be ignored.

TARGET="_blank"

This target will cause the link to always be loaded in a new blank window. This window is not named.

TARGET="_self"

This target causes the link to always load in the same window the anchor was clicked in. This is useful for overriding a globally assigned BASE target.

TARGET="_parent"

This target makes the link load in the immediate FRAMESET parent of this document. This defaults to acting like "_self" if the document has no parent.

TARGET="_top"

This target makes the link load in the full body of the window. This defaults to acting like "_self" if the document is already at the top. It is useful for breaking out of an arbitrarily deep FRAME nesting.
