In the context of HTML, the target attribute is used in the <a> (anchor) tag to specify how the linked URL should be opened.

Here's an example:

code
 
 
Copy code
<a href="https://www.example.com" target="_blank">Link</a>

In this example, the target attribute is set to _blank, which tells the browser to open the linked URL in a new tab or window.

Other possible values for the target attribute include:

• _self: Opens the linked URL in the same window/tab.
• _parent: Opens the linked URL in the parent window/tab (used in framesets).
• _top: Opens the linked URL in the full body of the window/tab (used in framesets).
• Custom window name: Opens the linked URL in a specific named window/tab.

Please note that the target attribute is optional and if it is not specified, the linked URL will open in the same window/tab by default.

The attribute "alt="_blank"" is used in HTML anchor tags (<a> tags) as a target attribute. The value "_blank" specifies that when the link is clicked, the target webpage will open in a new browser tab or window, depending on the user's browser settings. This attribute is commonly used to open external links or important resources without navigating away from the current webpage.

Here's an example:

html
 
 
Copy code
<a href="https://www.example.com" target="_blank">Click here</a>

In the above example, when the "Click here" link is clicked, the webpage at the URL "https://www.example.com" will open in a new tab or window.

target="_blank" is an attribute that you can add to an HTML anchor tag (<a></a>) to open the linked document in a new window or tab. This is usually used when you want to keep the current page open and the linked document open at the same time. Here is an example of how to use it:

html
 
 
Copy code
<a href="https://www.example.com" target="_blank">Click here to open example.com in a new window</a>

When the link is clicked, the browser will open a new tab or window (depending on the user's browser settings) and load the linked document in it.

The only difference between the two code snippets is that the second one includes the attribute target="_blank". This means that when a user clicks on the link, it will open in a new browser window or tab, rather than taking them away from the current page/tab.

Here's the breakdown of the code in HTML:

html
 
 
Copy code
<a href="URL Link"> code example </a>

• <a> creates a hyperlink element
• href is an attribute that specifies the URL of the page the link goes to
• "URL Link" is the actual URL itself
• "code example" is the text displayed for the link

html
 
 
Copy code
<a href="URL Link" target= "blank"> code example </a>

• In addition to the href attribute, target="_blank" is also included
• target tells the browser where to open the linked document
• "_blank" specifies to open the linked document in a new window or tab
