    Chapter 7. Links > Setting the Default Target

    Setting the Default Target

    A link, by default, opens in the same window or frame that contains the link. You can choose another target for each link individually, as described on page 122, or specify a default target for all the links on a page.

    To set a default target for a page:

    1.
    In the HEAD section of your Web page, type <BASE.

    2.
    Type TARGET="title", where title is the name of the window or frame in which all the links on the page should open, by default.

    3.
    Type > to complete the BASE tag.

    Figure 7.14. Use the BASE tag to set the default target (in this case the characters window) in order to save typing. Notice that I no longer have to specify the target for the links in the first paragraph. This document is equivalent to the one shown in Figure 7.11.
