| The Target property renders as a target attribute. The target attribute on form elements is not allowed in the XHTML 1.1 document type definition. Do not set the Target property if the rendered output for the HtmlForm control must be compliant with XHTML 1.1. For more information, see ASP.NET and XHTML. When creating accessible Web pages, avoid using the Target property to target another window. For more information, see ASP.NET Accessibility. Redirecting the results of the information posted to the server is an advanced task. Using this property simply to post back is not recommended. |
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. |
