Property values
Type: String
name
-
The name of the target window or frame.
_blank
-
For Windows Store apps using JavaScript only: Loads the linked document in the default browser. If the linked document is in the app's package, the link won't navigate to the document because the browser can't display documents contained in an app's package.
_parent
-
Load the linked document into the immediate parent of the document the link is in.
_self
-
Default. Load the linked document into the window in which the link was clicked (the active window).
_top
-
Load the linked document into the topmost window.
Remarks
The window name is an optional argument in the open scripting method.
In a Windows Store app using JavaScript, if you set the target attribute to the name of an iframe, the iframe loads the linked document. If the specified target doesn't exist, the link opens in the default browser.

Examples
This example uses the target attribute to specify a link that loads the page into the topmost frame of the current frameset.
<a href="newpage.htm" target="_top">Go to Page.</a>
