HtmlAnchor.Target Property
Gets or sets the target window or frame to load Web page content into.
[Visual Basic] Public Property Target As String [C#] public string Target {get; set;} [C++] public: __property String* get_Target(); public: __property void set_Target(String*); [JScript] public function get Target() : String; public function set Target(String);
Property Value
The target window or frame to load Web page content into. Values must begin with a letter in the range of a-z, except for the following special values, which begin with an underscore:
| _blank | Renders the content in a new, unframed window. |
| _parent | Renders the content in the immediate frameset parent. |
| _self | Renders the content in the frame with focus. |
| _top | Renders the content in the full, unframed window. |
Remarks
Use this property to specify the frame or window that displays the Web page linked to.
CAUTION In HTML 4.0, target attribute values are case-insensitive, so _top and _TOP have the same meaning. However, most browsers treat this value as case-sensitive and thus do not recognize _TOP as having the special meaning as described for _top.
Example
[Visual Basic, C#, JScript] The following example demonstrates how to use the Target property to display the page navigated to when the HtmlAnchor is clicked in a new, unframed window.
[Visual Basic] <%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="True" %> <html> <body> <form method=post runat=server> <a HRef="http://www.microsoft.com" Target="_blank" runat=server> Enter site.</a> </form> </body> </html> [C#] <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="True" %> <html> <body> <form method=post runat=server> <a HRef="http://www.microsoft.com" Target="_blank" runat=server> Enter site.</a> </form> </body> </html> [JScript] <%@ Page Language="JScript" AutoEventWireup="True" %> <html> <body> <form method=post runat=server> <a HRef="http://www.microsoft.com" Target="_blank" runat=server> Enter site.</a> </form> </body> </html>
