[TYPO3] external link in menu, typoscript and typolink.

[Andrew Plank]

Hi Typolink/TS experts!

On my site, I have a list of pages, one of which is of type "Link to an 
external URL", which points to a subdomain of my site.

The typoscript that creates the menu looks like this:

lib.menu_main = COA
lib.menu_main = HMENU
lib.menu_main.entryLevel = 0
lib.menu_main.1 = TMENU
lib.menu_main.1 {
	
	noBlur=1
	wrap = <ul>|</ul>
	
	NO = 1
	NO {

		allWrap = <li>|</li>
		stdWrap.case = lower
		stdWrap.cObject = CASE
		stdWrap.cObject {
		key.field = doktype
		default = TEXT
		default.field = title
		default.typolink.ATagBeforeWrap=1
		default.typolink.wrap=|
		3 < .default
		3.typolink.ATagBeforeWrap=1
		3.stdWrap.htmlSpecialChars = 1
		3.typolink.parameter.dataWrap = http://{field:url}
	}

	ACT = 1
	ACT.allWrap = <li class="main_selected">|</li>
	ACT.stdWrap.case = lower
	ACT.doNotLinkIt = 1

}

Which almost works... In the output, the link that points to the 
subdomain is correct, however, this link is wrapped in another link, so 
I end up with this:

<a href="subdomain/"><a href="http://subdomain.example.com" 
target="_top">subdomain</a></a>

Which is obviously not valid HTML. How can I modify the above TS so that 
the correct link isn't wrapped like that? Also, is it possible to 
configure it so that target="_top" is removed?

Here's hoping!
