You can use target=_self for those that don't.  (In your following example, I mean.  Not in the form element in your HTML markup).

Perfect sense.  You have one form (document.logonForm), 'f' is just a reference to it.  f.target='_blank' is the same as document.logonForm.target='_blank'.  So the next time you do f=document.logonForm, f.target is already '_blank'.
