Today i got assignment from my teacher that you have to research about anchor tag in HTML , the target attribute in tag.
There are four main keyword for target attribute:
- _self
- _blank
- _parent
- _top
For understanding about these keywords you have you know about browsing context, so let's discuss about, # Browsing Context =>
Browsing Context is nothing but the window in which you want to open the any link, this can be your new tab , a new window of your browser and can be iframe. This iframe part is very important to understand these keywords.
Let's discuss one by one->
_self => This is the simplest one this opens up a webpage (given a link in tag) in the same browsing context.
_blank => This is also a simple one this opens a new blank tab in your browser and then opens up the link given in tag.
_parent => This keyword is more helpful if you have nested iframes in your HTML this keyword search for parent browsing context and opens up the link. Remember the browsing context ? Discussed above.
_top => This keyword is used in the place where you want to open up the link in topmost browsing context if you have many nested
That's all from my side. -Please correct me if i am wrong at any place i will appreciate that I am in learning phase hope this will be helpful to you also.
Thanks!
