Javascript href leaving url on page

I am working on an older system where the top menu is housed in a frame. I know, bad practice, but as I said, it is an old system. The tabbed menu used javascript to change pages like this:

<a href="javascript:top.location.href='/content/newpage'">Link</a>

This works, but the page is a complex page and takes a while to load and while it is loading, I get /content/newpage displayed in that top frame. This only happens in Chrome 29 as far as I know. It does not happen in Firefox or IE or previous versions of Chrome.

Is there a way around this? Can I use the target parameter to force to top frame and thus, use 'regular' links rather than javascript?

<a href="#" onclick="top.location.href='/content/newpage'; return false">Link</a>
