Can I define the target property of <a> with CSS?

Supose you want to make sure that its link on your websites open in the same browser window not a new one, in HTML you would have inside every a tag to define target='_self' for every link does CSS has any such property for me to avoid all thia trouble?

well, usually this is default behaviour (at least when using relative paths, I think). further, target is not allowed in the strict doctype html variants.

and of course you can tweak you favourite browser to open the link target where you want ;)

nope, CSS deals with layout (how the browser displays your page)

If you must do this for whatever reason, it'd usually be to try to ensure it opens in a new window (unless someone tweaks their browser), then you could use JavaScript to set the property of each link.
