Att Form Target
Att Form Target
π 2026-06-14 | π HTML
# HTML
target Attribute The HTML `
` `target` attribute specifies where to display the response that is received after submitting the form. It defines the name of, or keyword for, a browsing context (such as a tab, window, or inline frame (`
`)) where the action URL should load. --- ## Browser Support The `target` attribute is fully supported by all major modern web browsers: * Google Chrome * Mozilla Firefox * Microsoft Edge / Internet Explorer * Apple Safari * Opera --- ## Definition and Usage When a user submits a form, the browser sends the form data to the server specified in the `action` attribute. The server processes this data and sends back a response (usually a new HTML page). By default, the browser loads this response in the same window or tab where the form was submitted. By using the `target` attribute, you can instruct the browser to load the response in a new tab, a parent frame, or a specific `
`. ### HTML 4.01 vs. HTML5 Differences * **HTML5:** Fully supports the `target` attribute on `
` elements. * **HTML 4.01:** The `target` attribute was deprecated. * **Frameset Note:** Since HTML5 no longer supports `
` and `
` elements, the `_parent`, `_top`, and custom *framename* values are now primarily used in conjunction with `
` elements. --- ## Syntax ```html
``` --- ## Attribute Values | Value | Description | | :--- | :--- | | `_blank` | Loads the response in a new window or tab. | | `_self` | Loads the response in the same frame/tab as it was clicked. (This is the default behavior). | | `_parent` | Loads the response in the parent frame. | | `_top` | Loads the response in the full body of the window, breaking out of any frames. | | *framename* | Loads the response in a designated `
` with a matching `name` attribute. | --- ## Code Examples ### Example 1: Open Form Response in a New Tab (`_blank`) This example demonstrates how to submit a form and display the resulting response page in a new browser tab or window. ```html
First name:
Last name:
``` ### Example 2: Target a Specific Inline Frame (`
`) You can direct the form's response to load inside an inline frame on the same page. To do this, set the form's `target` attribute to match the `name` attribute of the target `
`. ```html

``` --- ## Considerations and Best Practices * **User Experience (UX):** Opening form responses in a new window (`target="_blank"`) can sometimes be disruptive to users, especially on mobile devices. Use it intentionallyβfor example, when submitting a form that generates a downloadable PDF report or invoice that the user needs to view without leaving the current page. * **Security Note:** When using `target="_blank"`, consider security implications. While modern browsers automatically apply `rel="noopener"` to links, for forms targeting external domains, ensure your server-side redirects and response headers are secure.
