Frame problem with Paypal

I have created a very basic website and have set my shop as a frame within a page.

I just wanted to keep a standard "wraper" around the pages of the site.

All works well until I try to try to checkout through paypal, when I get the following:

"Sorry — your last action could not be completed

If you were making a purchase or sending money, we recommend that you check both your PayPal account and your email for a transaction confirmation after 30 minutes.

If you came to this page from another website, please return to that site (don't use your browser's Back button) and restart your activity.

If you came from PayPal's website, click the PayPal logo in the upper-left corner to return to our home page and restart your activity. You might have to log in again."

Having done some initial reading around the problem I understand that the issue is that Paypal does not like the checkout to be within the frame and requires a new window to be launched.

This is fine, but I do not have a clue how I can initiate a new window for the checkout. I assume this would need to happen when the checkout button is selected?

Any help would be very warmly received.

Thanks

Yes but i don't recommend it if you want to keep log of your transactions
Frames are outdated
