• What does the "Target" tab mean when setting a link in your website builder?

  When you link text within our website builder, you may notice that there is an option labeled "Target" in the link settings pop up. Targeting allows you to control where the new page is displayed when the user clicks on your link.

For example, if you have 5 frames, your link will open in frame 4.*iframe is a window within a window (aka a HTML document inside an HTML document).
