						<p>Provides the name of the window or frame that is to receive content
as the result of navigating to a link or any other action on the page
that loads a new document. Such names are assigned to frames by the
<span class="literal">frame</span> element's
<span class="literal">name</span> attribute; for subwindows, the name is
assigned via the second parameter of the <span class="literal">window.open(
)</span> method. If you need the services of a
<span class="literal">target</span> attribute to open a linked page in a blank
browser window and you also need the HTML to validate under strict
HTML or XHTML DTDs, you can omit the <span class="literal">target</span>
attribute in the code, but assign a value to the
<span class="literal">base</span> element's
<span class="literal">target</span> property by script after the page loads.
