Open the Blue Page in a new
window.


Replace

the yellow page with the Green Page.




In this case, yellow.html and green.html load into the default window assigned by the


tag (yellow_page); blue.html overrides the default by defining its own target
window of blue_page.

You also can override the window assigned with the tag by using one of two spe-

window that doesn’t have a name associated with it. Alternatively, if you use target="
self", the current window is used rather than the one defined by the tag.


If you don’t provide a target using the <base> tag and you don’t

indicate a target in a link’s <a> tag, the link will load the new

document in the same window as the link.
