Anchor.target (Property)

In MSIE the Url.target property is also available as the Anchor.target property.

Availability:

DOM level - 1

JavaScript - 1.2

JScript - 3.0

Internet Explorer - 4.0

Netscape - 4.0

Property/method value type: String primitive

JavaScript syntax: - myAnchor.target

- myAnchor.target = newTarget

HTML syntax: <A TARGET="...">

This yields the value of the TARGET attribute in an <A>, <AREA> or <MAP> tag.

You can assign a new value to this property so that the URL will be directed to a different window or frame.

Here are some example target values:

_parent
_self
_top
_blank
Window name
Frame name

Warnings:

Since the target property of an Anchor object is not portable, you should use the target property of the corresponding link object to be able to work across MSIE and Netscape.

See also: <MAP TARGET="...">, Anchor object, Anchor.hash, Anchor.host, Anchor.hostname, Anchor.href, Anchor.pathname, Anchor.port, Anchor.protocol, Anchor.search, BASE.target, Form.target, Location.target, Map.target, URL, Url.target
