You are right, I was too hasty... I dug the thing out, God, it
was dusty, and stuck a test link in to an external site on it
<a href="http://somedomain.com.au" target="_top">here</a>
and it worked fine on my tests! Plus, I relied too much on iCab's
smiling uncomplaining validation icon face. Sorry Arne... And
then, with more poking about, I found I did have Transitional on
lots of the inner frames and likely for this reason. It is really
sad how one forgets a much loved technology so quickly....
