Remarks

Use the HotSpot.Target property to specify the frame or window that displays the Web page linked to when a System.Web.UI.WebControls.HotSpot object that navigates to a URL is clicked. This property has an effect only when the HotSpot.HotSpotMode property is set to HotSpotMode.Navigate, to navigate to a URL. If this property is not set, the browser or window with focus refreshes when the System.Web.UI.WebControls.HotSpot object is clicked.

Note:

The HotSpot.Target property renders as a target attribute. The target attribute on ANCHOR elements is not allowed in the XHTML 1.1 document type definition. Do not set the HotSpot.Target property if the rendered output for the System.Web.UI.WebControls.HotSpot must be XHTML 1.1 compliant. For more information, refer to the topic ASP.NET and XHTML Compliance.

Note:

We strongly recommend that, when creating accessible Web pages, you avoid using the HotSpot.Target property to target another window. For more information, see ASP.NET Accessibility.

The HotSpot.Target value must begin with a letter in the range of A to Z (case-insensitive), except for the following special values, which begin with an underscore.

_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 whether the _search value is supported. For example, Internet Explorer 5.0 or later supports the _search target value.
