<body><!-- Opening tag for the document's body section -->
<form method="post" action="https://www.w3resource.com/html-css-exercise/basic/solution/input-formtarget-answer-demo.php"><!-- Form element defining a form with method and action attributes -->
  Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br><!-- Text input field for entering the name -->
  Address: <input type="text" name="address"><br><!-- Text input field for entering the address -->
<input type="submit" value="Submit as normal"><!-- Submit button to submit the form data normally -->
<input type="submit" formtarget="_blank" value="Submit to a new window/tab"><!-- Submit button with formtarget attribute set to "_blank" to specify that the response should be displayed in a new window or tab -->
</form><!-- Closing tag for the form -->
</body><!-- Closing tag for the document's body section -->
</html><!-- Closing tag for the root element of the HTML document -->

Explanation:

This HTML code demonstrates how to specify where to display the response that is received after submitting the form.
The form element is defined with method set to "post" and action set to the URL where the form data should be sent.
Inside the form, there are input fields for entering the name and address.
There are two submit buttons:

The first submit button submits the form data normally.
The second submit button has the formtarget attribute set to "_blank", specifying that the response should be displayed in a new window or tab.
