A form with two submit buttons, with different target windows:
The formtarget attribute specifies a name or a keyword that indicates where to display the response that is received after submitting the form.
The formtarget attribute overrides the target attribute of the <form> element.
Note: The formtarget attribute can be used with type="submit" and type="image".
The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the attribute.
Attribute | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
formtarget | 9.0 | 10.0 | 4.0 | 5.1 | 10.6 |
The formtarget attribute is new in HTML5.
Note: Frames and framesets are not supported in HTML5. The _parent, _top and framename values are now mostly used with iframes.
