Your links going external are still opening within the frame. The |
| 24 |
redirection will be setting a full page frame and then load the free |
| 25 |
host within that frame. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
For your external links to show with the correct url you will need to |
| 28 |
jump out of hte frame - so setting a target of _top should do that :) |

Thus, <a href="http://www.someexternalurl.com" target="_top">Go |
| 31 |
Elsewhere</a> |
