nope but i did this and that works
myNewWindow.document.forms[0].target = 'myFrame';

see the window is created from scatch and takes it's html from a div with a
display:none

and innerHTML (dont ask me why) does not take the attribute target and
removes it entirely!

here is an example of what i am doing

<span id="myForm">
    <form name="editFold"  target="favFrame" method="get" action="fav.php">
        some elements ...
    </form>
</span>


alert(document.getElementById(myForm).innerHTML);

the output is!
<form name="editFold" method="get" action="fav.php">
     some elements ...
</form>

as you can see the target attribute is removed!

after setting the body of my window to:
myNewWindow.document.body.innerHTML =
document.getElementById(myForm).innerHTML;

i do!
myNewWindow.document.forms[0].target = 'myFrame';


and that works no problem !

now my problem is getting the window to close as soon as i submit the
document!
