But there is an error in their javascript. They are missing the final semicolon on what is your fourth line ("parent.frames.location.replace..."). I couldn't get their code to work in Firefox.

If you use <strong>isdtp=mn</strong> as the first parameter, then it's <strong>?isdtp=mn</strong>. Anything after that must be <strong>&isdtp=mn</strong>. What does that parameter actually mean? How do the values translate? Ian, I tested your idea and it worked. If you use isdtp=mn as the first parameter, then it’s ?isdtp=mn. Anything after that must be &isdtp=mn.

What does that parameter actually mean? How do the values translate?

e.g. http://www.yourlink.com?isdtp=mn
