load link in _parent

Background: I am using godaddy's forwarding and cloaking service, which just creates a frame to disguise the URL of the current page. In order to allow the URL to change when links are clicked within this frame, I have set all links to open in the _parent frame.

Problem: In IE6, the links that open in the _parent frame do absolutely nothing. When clicked, nothing happens. These links work in IE7 and Firefox, and the links work if I change the target to _blank or _self, but not _parent or _top.

The URL of the page with the problem is www.levees.tv, which redirects to www.levees.org/tv.php.

EDIT: while this still appears to be a bug in IE, I found a way to work around it using a JS function:
function goparent(gourl){top.location = gourl;}
and then the link would be like:
<a onclick="goparent('yardsigns')">Free Yard Signs</a>
