[support] Question about iFrames

[Daniel Carrera]

Ah, yes. You are right. Here is an example:

<a href="http://foo.org/moodle/" onclick="this.target='_top'">Home</a>

Knowing where the problem is, now I can edit the Moodle theme and remove 
all onclick="..." properties. The links seem to work well now.

Thanks!
