Remarks

Use the Target property to specify the window or frame in which to display the Web content linked to a menu item when that menu item is clicked. Values must begin with a letter in the range of A through Z (case-insensitive), except for certain special values that begin with an underscore, as shown in the following table.

Target value Description
_blank Renders the content in a new window without frames.
_parent Renders the content in the immediate frameset parent.
_search Renders the content in the search pane.
_self Renders the content in the frame with focus.
_top Renders the content in the full window without frames.

Note

Check your browser documentation to determine if the _search value is supported. For example, Internet Explorer versions 5.0 and above support the _search target value

This property applies to all menu items in a Menu control. You can selectively override this property by setting the Target property of each MenuItem object directly.

Note

The Target property renders as a target attribute. The target attribute on anchor elements is not allowed in the XHTML 1.1 strict document type definition. If rendered output must conform to XHTML or accessibility standards, do not set the Target property. For more information, see XHTML Standards in Visual Studio and ASP.NET and Accessibility in Visual Studio and ASP.NET.
