the target attribute indicates to the browser which _named_ window
or frame to place the results of a request into. it has nothing to
do with whether the URL is shown in the status bar. there are certain
special target values recognized by browsers:
_top
replace the top window/frameset with the results of the request
_blank
place request results into a new window
_self
replace the contents of the window/frame in which the link resides
with the results of the request
_parent
places the result of the request in the parent of the one
displaying the current document.
all other values of the TARGET attribute indicate a window/frame name.
if no window or frame of that particular name exists, the the results
are place in a _new_ window (given the specified name).
the target attribute is now part of the HTML 4 spec. (i
don't have the spec handy, but the attribute has been around and in use
since the dawn of time (or at least netscape :))
hope this answers your question (at least partially)
