Address bar not changing for outside links (2 posts)

    I have a brand new wordpress setup and I am just beginning to learn how to use it. I am hosting my webpage on another server, and am just having my own url virtually point to the full webserver address. I have changed my blog url in settings so the site does appear to be working at my domain name, http://www.dimavolovik.com. I have kept the wordpress url in settings as the full link to where my website is hosted.

    The problem I am having comes when I click an outside link that I have on my site. The address bar remains with my url, even when i have left my webpage. And if I click refresh at another webpage, it will refresh back to my site. It seems my problem is the same as the third to last post on http://wordpress.org/support/topic/305409 but I have not been able to locate a solution to the problem.

    You can see the problem easily if you click the link to google in the only comment on my page.

    The url behaves properly if i browse to my page using the full address, rather than my virtual url. Can anyone help me to get my links to behave properly? Thanks.

    So i have realized that my problem is that my website is housed in a frame, so all the links want to stay inside of that frame. I can fix this by adding a target="_top" flag to my links. It seems i just need an elegant way to tell wordpress to add target="_top" to every single external link I will have on my page. Is there an easy way to do this?
