Thanks, Adam. Your solution works for the case where editors enter links into their content using the CuteEditor link button, which covers the majority of uses in my situation. But I get the same undesired behavior for "inherited" HTML that does not have the target attribute set properly. My editors will still have the option of entering anchors manually in the HTML mode, and they will need to be made aware that they must set the target=_top attribute in order for their content to behave properly.
It would be very helpful to have a global DefaultTarget=_top attribute for the CuteEditor control that would be in effect when the anchor does not have a target attribute specified. I do not understand why/how somebody would use a DefaultTarget=_self, which seems to be the behavior at present.
Things are looking good, and I think we will be embedding in our site released to our customer. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the quick reply.
