Help Center Manage Your Account Banner, Richmedia, and Text Ads

Click to a new or same window

The HTML target attribute determines whether to open a link in a blank new window, the current window, or a user-defined window when the ad is clicked.

Priority as an Ad Setting or a Serving Code Setting

You can specify this target attribute both in the serving code and for each individual ad. If the ad has a target setting, this value has a higher priority than the target setting in the serving code. For example: the serving code sets _top but ad A sets _blank, _blank will be used. Otherwise (if ad does not specify any target), the target in the serving code will be used.

Possible Values

This HTML attribute has four predefined values (starts with an underscore and should be in all lower-case letters). You can also target your own custom window/frame by specifying its name.

Presets

_blank - open in a new window
_parent - open in the parent window
_self - open in same window/frame, same as if you don't specify it
_top - open in the topmost window/frame

Custom Value

MyFrame - open in the custom frame named MyFrame
