HTML Links - The target Attribute
HTML Links - The target Attribute
When a link is clicked, the destination property indicates where the linked page will open. The open window is the default. The linked content will open in a new tab (on modern browsers) or window (on older ones) if target="_blank" is specified.
The target attribute specifies where to open the linked document.
The target attribute can have one of the following values:
_self - Default. Opens the document in the same window/tab as it was clicked
_blank - Opens the document in a new window or tab
_parent - Opens the document in the parent frame
_top - Opens the document in the full body of the window
Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<style>
a:link, a:visited {
background-color: #3333ff ;
color: white;
padding: 14px 25px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
}
a:hover, a:active {
background-color: blue;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
