The target
attribute is not used in the <link> tag. In HTML, the <link> tag is primarily used to link external resources to an HTML document, such as stylesheets, icons, or other web pages. It doesn't support the target
attribute.
However, the target
attribute is commonly used with anchor tags <a> to specify where to open the linked document or resource. When used within an anchor tag, the target
attribute defines the browsing context for the linked content. For instance.
<a href="https://www.example.com" target="_blank">Link to Example</a>
Here, target="_blank"
will open the linked content in a new browser window or tab.
But in the context of the <link> tag, the rel
attribute is typically used to define the relationship between the current document and the linked resource, and the href
attribute points to the location of that resource. For example:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
