Value
Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.
Remarks
Use the HyperLinkColumn.Target property to specify the frame or window that displays the Web page linked to when a hyperlink in the column is clicked.
If this property is not set, the browser or window with focus refreshes when a hyperlink in the column is clicked.
The HyperLinkColumn.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 HyperLinkColumn.Target property if the rendered output for the System.Web.UI.WebControls.HyperLinkColumn must be XHTML 1.1 compliant. For more information, refer to the topic ASP.NET and XHTML Compliance.
When creating accessible Web pages, it is strongly recommended you avoid using the HyperLinkColumn.Target property to target another window. For more information, see ASP.NET Accessibility.
The HyperLinkColumn.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. |
Check your browser documentation to determine if the _search value is supported. For example, Internet Explorer 5.0 and above support the _search target value.
