How can the 'target' attribute be effectively used to prevent frames from being disrupted when updating content?

When updating content within a frame, the 'target' attribute can be used to specify where the linked content should be displayed. By setting the 'target' attribute to "_top", the linked content will be displayed in the top-level browsing context, preventing disruption to the frames. This ensures that the updated content is displayed correctly without affecting the frame structure.
