Att Button Formtarget

# HTML
formtarget Attribute The `formtarget` attribute of the `
` tag specifies where to display the response received after submitting the form. This attribute overrides the default `target` attribute of the parent `
` element. --- ## Introduction When a user submits a form, the server returns a response (usually a new HTML page or a confirmation message). By default, this response loads in the same window or tab. By using the `formtarget` attribute on a `
` element, you can customize exactly where this response is displayed. This is highly useful when you have multiple submit buttons within the same form and want them to behave differentlyβfor example, having one button save and reload the current page, while another button opens a preview of the submitted data in a new tab. ### Key Features: * **Overriding Behavior:** It overrides the `
` element's `target` attribute. * **Context:** It only works with buttons where `type="submit"`. * **HTML5 Standard:** This is an HTML5 feature, offering more granular control over form submissions without relying on JavaScript. --- ## Syntax ```html
Submit
``` --- ## Attribute Values | Value | Description | | :--- | :--- | | `_blank` | Loads the response in a new window or tab. | | `_self` | Loads the response in the same frame/tab as it was clicked. (This is the default behavior). | | `_parent` | Loads the response in the parent frame. | | `_top` | Loads the response in the full body of the window, breaking out of any frames. | | *`framename`* | Loads the response in a designated `
` with a matching `name` attribute. | --- ## Code Example In the example below, we have a single form with two submit buttons. * The first button uses the default target (`_self`) to submit the data in the current window. * The second button uses `formtarget="_blank"` to submit the data and display the response in a new window or tab. ```html
First name:
Last name:
Submit
Submit to New Window
``` --- ## Browser Support The `formtarget` attribute is widely supported across all modern web browsers: * Google Chrome * Mozilla Firefox * Apple Safari * Microsoft Edge / Opera * Internet Explorer 10 and above (Note: IE 9 and earlier versions do not support this attribute). --- ## Considerations & Best Practices 1. **HTML5 Frame Support:** HTML5 does not support legacy `
` and `
` tags. Therefore, the `_parent`, `_top`, and *`framename`* values are now primarily used in conjunction with inline frames (`
`). 2. **Accessibility & User Experience:** Opening new tabs (`_blank`) unexpectedly can be disorienting for some users, especially those using screen readers. It is best practice to indicate to the user (either via text or an icon) that clicking the button will open a new window. 3. **Form Association:** The `formtarget` attribute can also be used in combination with the `form` attribute to target a form that is located elsewhere in the DOM.
