Is there a reason why this.form.target='_top' does not work and target="_top" works when placed as a form attribute?
<p>Akin to the problem faced by the author at <a href="http://cfyves.com/2011/05/05/need-form-submission-to-break-out-of-an-iframe/" rel="nofollow">http://cfyves.com/2011/05/05/need-form-submission-to-break-out-of-an-iframe/</a>, I attempted to break out of a submitted iframe however it would only work if I include the <code>target</code> attribute in the form element. </p>

<p>Using <code>this.form.target</code> did not generate any errors but it did not break out of the iframe when the form was submitted. Is there a reason why this would be the case?</p>
