No, I meant to say exactly what I said, namely ACTION.

The Target attribute deals with frames -- I have not done frames since 1995.

For a more in-depth Target explanation, please review:

However, I do not think that is what is being discussed here -- at least it is not what I was talking about.

Cheers,
