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.

Example

.class {
   target-name: parent; 
}
