could someone plz tell me what the _top, _self, etc targeting codes mean? i saw it somewhere on this forum b4..but i can't seem to find it again..tnx!

_blank = open link into a new window.
_top = open link fully in current window (break out of frames).
_self = normal, default, open link in current frame area as link is in.

im still not really sure what _self means..your explanation was a bit confusing..and what is _parent?

_self will make a normal link. The page will come up in the same frame that the link is in

_self = makes link react as if you didn't set a target at all.

_parent = open the link fully in the current frameset area (usually used if you have nested framesets). this may take a rather long explaination if you really need to use this option. most people don't need it.

oh ok..cuz im making a tutorial for image maps..and part of the program asks about those targets. tnx you guys :)
