Those on dial-up would prefer a short answer.

Most of my pages (incl sig line 3) contain a line like

<a href="datecalc.htm" target="_top">No-Frame</a> *

for getting back out of a Frame. What javascript would you use instead?
Of course, javascript may not be enabled; most of my pages don't need
(though may use) it. That's usually the only (known) validity issue on
my pages.
