Hi RonenW,

The target attribute is use to define where the linked document will be opened, example like:
<a href=&quot;

http://www.mypage.com&quot;

target=&quot;_blank&quot;>
this will open a new window.

however, i don't think you can assign the value of a javascript expression or variable to target. so &quot;document.form1.target&quot; seems to me that &quot;target&quot; is the Objectname in form1

hope this helps, Chiu Chan
