_selfOpens the linked document in the same frame as it was clicked (this is default)
_parentOpens the linked document in the parent frame
_topOpens the linked document in the full body of the window
framenameOpens the linked document in a named frame

HTML Usage

<a target="_blank|_self|_parent|_top|framename">click here</a>

<html>...<body><base target="_blank|_self|_parent|_top|framename" >...</body></html>
