# HTML <input> formtarget Attribute

HTML <input> tag

## Example

A form with two submit buttons, with different target windows:

<form action="demo_form.asp">
First name: <input type="text" name="fname"><br>
Last name: <input type="text" name="lname"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit as normal">
<input type="submit" formtarget="_blank" value="Submit to a new window">
</form>
Try it yourself »

## Definition and Usage

The formtarget attribute specifies a name or a keyword that indicates where to display the response that is received after submitting the form.

The formtarget attribute overrides the target attribute of the <form> element.

Note: The formtarget attribute can be used with type="submit" and type="image".

## Browser Support

The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the attribute.

Attribute |  |  |  |  |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
formtarget | 9.0 | 10.0 | 4.0 | 5.1 | 10.6

## Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML5

The formtarget attribute is new in HTML5.

Note: Frames and framesets are not supported in HTML5. The _parent, _top and framename values are now mostly used with iframes.

## Syntax

<input formtarget="_blank|_self|_parent|_top|framename">

## Attribute Values

Value | Description
--- | ---
_blank | The response is displayed in a new window or tab
_self | The response is displayed in the same frame (this is default)
_parent | The response is displayed in the parent frame
_top | The response is displayed in the full body of the window
framename | The response is displayed in a named iframe
