target
Type
keyword
Summary
Specifies the text contents of the field which was the target of the message currently being handled.
Syntax
target
Description
Use the target keyword to access the contents of the field named in the target function.
The only semantic difference between the target function and the target keyword is that the target keyword is not preceded by the word "the".
If the target object is not a field, the target keyword reports the name of the object, just like the target function.
