HTML target Attribute

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025

The HTML target Attribute is used to specify where to open the linked document. It can be used on various elements such as:

Syntax:

<element target="_blank|_self|_parent|_top|framename"\>

Attribute Values:

  • _blank: It opens the link in a new window.
  • _self: It is the default value. It opens the linked document in the same frame.
  • _parent: It opens the linked document in the parent frameset.
  • _top: It opens the linked document in the full body of the window.
  • framename: It opens the linked document in the named frame.

Example: In this example we demonstrates the target attribute in an anchor (<a>) element. The link opens in the same tab (target="_self") and includes centered headings and a paragraph.
