HtmlForm::Target Property
Gets or sets the frame or window in which to render the results of information that is posted to the server.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Property Value
Type: System::String^The browser window or frame that displays the results of the information posted to the server. The default is an empty string (""), which refreshes the window or frame with focus.
Use the Target property to specify the target window or frame that displays the results of the information that is posted to the server. Redirecting the results of the information posted to the server is an advanced task. Using this property simply to post back is not recommended.
Note |
|---|
The Target property renders as a target attribute. The target attribute on form elements is not allowed in XHTML 1.1. Therefore, if the rendered markup must conform to XHTML standards or must conform to accessibility standards, do not set the Target property. For more information, see XHTML Standards in Visual Studio and ASP.NET and Accessibility in Visual Studio and ASP.NET. |
The Target value must begin with a letter in the range of A to Z (case-insensitive), except for the following special values, which begin with an underscore.
Target value | Description |
|---|---|
_blank | Renders the content in a new window without frames. |
_parent | Renders the content in the immediate frameset parent. |
_search | Renders the content in the search pane. |
_self | Renders the content in the frame with focus. |
_top | Renders the content in the full window without frames. |
Note |
|---|
Check your browser documentation to determine if the _search value is supported. For example, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 and later support the _search target value. |
