Just a quick question. A browser spawns a popup site map. When you click on a link in the site map, the link should open in the first browser window and the focus switches back to the original.

I figured that setting the link target to \_parent should work for opening the page in the first browser as you’re linking from the child, but needless to say it doesn’t.

Any quick fixes out there?
