How do I get a link loaded in the window, not frame?

[Tim Streater]

I have, as it might be, this in a frame:

<a href="mystuff.h tml">Click here</a>

When I click the link, it loads mystuff.html into the frame, whereas
what I want is to replace the whole window contents. How can I do this
while still using a link? What I want in effect is for clicking to do:

top.location.hr ef = "mystuff.ht ml"

instead of:

window.location .href = "mystuff.ht ml"

Thanks,

target: _blank
Loads the linked document into a new blank window. This generally
provides the same navigation controls as other browser windows. Some
users will want to be able to disable this behaviour via a browser
preference setting.

target: _popup
Loads the linked document into a pop-up window. This is similar to
"_blank" except that pop-up windows are generally borderless and
automatically sized to match the document content, disappearing when
clicked.

target: _self
Loads the linked document into the same frame as the anchor that was
clicked on. This is useful for overriding an inherited target value.

target: _parent
Loads the linked document into the immediate parent frame of the frame
containing the clicked anchor. This defaults to acting like "_self" when
the clicked anchor isn't contained by a frame (i.e. its directly part of
the page).

target: _top
Loads the linked document into the full extent of the window. This acts
like "_self" when the clicked anchor isn't contained by a frame (i.e. its
directly part of the page).
