Bug Description

WE have Silva content that is loaded within a frameset. It is possible to open links within SilvaDocuments in a new window, a named target, or the same window. BUT, when in a frameset the "same window" is the frame, not the window. While this in itself can be annoying, if the linked content is an office document and the browser loads it embedded, it is embedded within the frame.

In IE6, this embedded content does not print correctly.

If the Silva Link tool also had the following targets '_top' and '_parent', these office doc links could use either of those targets and printing will work.

One can add a custom target today. But if you think it's better to add 'top' and 'parent' to the current list go ahead. Then the list would become:
same window
new window
parent
top
custom target

Well, this does complete the html spec for the target attribute. I hadn't considered using the custom target :-) I've added these two items to toolboxes.kupu. I think there was a change recently only kupumacros.html. I haven't run make yet, so the change to kupumacros can be incorporated into the .kupu files if necessary.

That missing change in kupu macros has been fixed, so assigning this back.
