Form action with a fragment identifier?

[Leif K-Brooks]

I want to give a form an action containing a fragment identifier, as in
<form action="/foo#bar" method="post">. The spec doesn't seem to say
anything against this, and it seems to work in Firefox at least, but I'm
worried about what other browsers will do.

Obviously, the best way to find out is to test it myself, but before I
do that, I'm wondering if anyone here knows of any problems it could cause.

The only thing that I can think of is it might confuse the user to have the
page suddenly move after a post.

And reread the page, it's just a quite bad thing to do, use an image instead
anchored.
