Okay, here's the results:

Using parent.location = anyUrl solves the problem (and works with both target=_top and target=_parent)

For several reasons, it isn't practical to change the file extensions for this site. So I followed the thread Torka suggested, to the info on using PHP on a page with an HTML extension. I've emailed the server owner for this site to see if the technique will work on his server.

If so, I will go with SSI. If not, I will fall back on the Iframe. In future, I will be focussed on the SSI solution as it seems much better.

Many thanks to everyone for your ideas. Have a happy & healthy year-end!

The target attribute is of use only with an anchor (a href) tag. Since you're not using that tag, but instead using JavaScript, setting a target in an option tag is superfluous and simply wasting bytes. You can and should just remove 'em.
