Html: open the page in a new window. target="_blanck" - is that a typo? -

i have found (with letter c)

target="_blanck"

instead of expected

target="_blank"

in project written else. works , opens link in new window. typo or missing something?

the target attribute refers contents of link loaded in browser. browser set contents of page within window/frame name, long it's not 1 of special values _blank, _self, _top or _parent. see frame target references section in w3 spec.

except reserved names listed below, frame target names (%frametarget; in dtd) must begin alphabetic character (a-za-z). user agents should ignore other target names.

the next target names reserved , have special meanings.

_blank user agent should load designated document in new, unnamed window. _self user agent should load document in same frame element refers target. _parent user agent should load document immediate frameset parent of current frame. value equivalent _self if current frame has no parent. _top user agent should load document full, original window (thus canceling other frames). value equivalent _self if current frame has no parent.

so, if link supposed open new window, should _blank. if there several links same target=_blanck, might on purpose if they're supposed replace contents of same window.

see this fiddle:

<a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com" target="_blank">this opens in new window</a> <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blanck">this opens google in given window</a> <a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com" target="_blanck">this opens in same given window</a>

html window target
