The names of all the frames you've named in the current document appear in the pop-up list. If you specify a frame
that doesn't exist, the linked page loads into a new window that has the name you specified. You can also select from
the following reserved target names:
• loads the linked file into a new, unnamed browser window.
_blank
•
loads the linked file into the parent frameset or window of the frame that contains the link. If the frame
_parent
containing the link is not nested, the linked file loads into the full browser window.
• loads the linked file into the same frame or window as the link. This target is the default, so you usually
_self
don't need to specify it.
•
loads the linked file into the full browser window, thereby removing all frames.

Note: The target option isn't available until the selected hotspot contains a link.
