The Target property renders as a target attribute. The target attribute on anchor elements is not allowed in the XHTML 1.1 document type definition. Do not set the Target property if the rendered output for the HyperLinkColumn must be XHTML 1.1 compliant. For more information, refer to the topic XHTML Standards in Visual Studio and ASP.NET. When creating accessible Web pages, it is strongly recommended you avoid using the Target property to target another window. For more information, see NIB: ASP.NET Accessibility. |
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, Internet Explorer 5.0 and above support the _search target value. |
