Lomakohde

Lomakohde, also known as a form target, is a term used in web development to describe a specific attribute of HTML form elements. The form target attribute specifies where to display the response that is received after submitting the form. This attribute can be applied to form elements and is particularly useful when dealing with file uploads or when the form submission needs to open in a new window or tab.

The form target attribute can take several values, each with a different effect:

1. _self: This is the default value. It loads the response in the same frame as the form.

2. _blank: This opens the response in a new window or tab.

3. _parent: This loads the response in the parent frame.

4. _top: This loads the response in the full body of the window.

For example, a form with a target attribute set to _blank would look like this in HTML:

<form action="submit_page.html" method="post" target="_blank">

<!-- form elements here -->

</form>

In this example, when the form is submitted, the response will open in a new window or tab.

The form target attribute is not to be confused with the target attribute used in anchor (a) tags, which specifies where to open the linked document. While both attributes serve to control the behavior of links and form submissions, they are applied to different HTML elements and have different purposes.
