target-name: current | root | parent | new | modal | <string>

Values

currentThe name of the current frame, tab or window where the link resides. This value never causes a new destination to be created.
rootThe name of the current tab (if there is one) or window. This value never causes a new destination to be created.
parentThe name of the parent of the current frame. If the current frame has no parent this value is treated as 'root'. This value never causes a new destination to be created.
newA new destination (see target-new) is always created.
modalA new modal window is temporarily created.
<string>The target is displayed in the existing frame, window or tab of that name. If no such named destination exists, a new destination (see target-new) is created with that name.
