Base Target

    The "Base Target" button returns the code <BASE TARGET="">, used in frame creation for HTML documents. If there is currently highlighted text in the active edit window, the <BASE TARGET=""> will replace it. Some of the valid values inside the quotes are another named frame, or one of the following choices:

_self
    It is sometimes convenient to use the built in _self target value rather than a frame name if the hyperlink updates the current frame. In other words, the referenced document is loaded on top of the document presently in the window/frame.

_top
    To get rid of all the frames on a page use the _top target value. What this target actually does is search though all the parent documents until it finds the place where the frames started. Often this is a document that "takes up" the entire screen.

_parent
    This target refers to the document from which the present document was spawned. So if you referenced b.html from a.html and you click on a hyperlink in b.html that has _parent as the target, then the new hyperlink will load in the window where a.html is. In other words, the newly referenced hyperlink will replace a.html.

_blank
    This target will load the referenced html document into a new, unnamed window.
