Yes, drop Dreamweaver and learn HTML, it really is not that difficult.
Many many tutorials online...

A good place to start, lists all ELEMENTS and their *valid* ATTRIBUTES

http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/index/elements.html

for in your code:

FORM does not have an ALIGN attribute
FORM must have an ACTION attribute which yours does not have
OPTION does not have an a TARGET attribute (it is not a link)... that is
why your code will not open an new window. You should try to anyway see:

(why target="_blank" bad - Google Search)
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=why+target%3D%22_blank%22+bad&spell=1

lastly with your code leave the select box on "Click here to browse" and
click "go" and see the error...
