Try adding this script to the HTML document head in your documents.

<SCRIPT>
<!--
top.location.target="_top"
if (window.location.target != "_top")
{
top.location.href=window.location.href
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

If you're using frames in your own document, you'd want to
modify the code to check what the frame name is and
break out only if needed. For example, if your frameset names the
content frame "body", use this:

<SCRIPT>
<!--
top.location.target="_top"
if ((window.frames.name != "body") && (window.location.target != "_top"))
{
top.location.href=window.location.href
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
