Not sure we're talking about the same thing. I'm just saying that if you
specify *only* the "target" attribute, but not "cid" or "component", then
you don't get an Ajax component:
>>> A('mypage', _href=URL('myfunction'), target='myID').xml()
'<a data-w2p_disable_with="default" data-w2p_target="myID"
href="/test/default/myfunction">mypage</a>'
Notice in the above output, there is no data-w2p_method attribute, which is
required in order to get the Ajax behavior. So, in the above, you either
have to replace "_href" with "component" or replace "target" with "cid".
