Hi Tom

You had the right idea with target="top".  The problem with this is that 
the browser looks for a frame or window named "top".  As this does not 
exist, it opens a new window.

To get round this the 'built-in' frames are prefixed with an underscore.  
The ones available at the moment are:
 _self       Loads into the same frame (default)
 _top        Loads into the topmost frame of the current window
 _blank      Loads into a new unnamed window
 _parent     Loads into the parent of the current frame.
 _search     Loads into the search pane (IE5+)
 _media      Loads into the Media Bar (IE6)

So for your site you will need target="_top".

Hope this helps
Philip
