• The target attribute in hyperlinks is used to specify where the linked web page or resource should open.
• By default, hyperlinks open in the same browser tab or window, replacing the current page.
• You can use the target attribute to control how the link behaves when clicked.
• The common values for the target attribute are "_blank" to open the link in a new browser tab, and "_self" to open it in the same tab (default).
• For example, Click here you will be redirected to JTC home page in a new browser tab.
