Geez, I wish I'd have known that before! So are you saying that if the browser doesn't recognize the target as one of the predefined types, it will assume it should open a new window named according to the target value? That's cool, and I didn't know it. It would have saved me some trouble a few weeks back because I had to add some code to a system to deal with a situation where a popup window might have been opened and things broke if a certain request was submitted again with it still open. I just added a quick Javascript check and closed the window if it was open before submitting the form, but this would have been much better!
