Nope. If you read the spec you'll see that target is "deprecated".

In strict a tag such as <input /> must be placed within a block level tag such as <p></p>. It can not exist directly within <form></form>. It's all in the spec. -- Christian Smith | csmith@barebones.com | http://web.barebones.com PGP Fingerprint - 60E5 2216 97D2 1D1A B923 F036 00A9 CEC0 D411 FA89
