Does anyone know how to alter the html that's generated by civi profile forms?

Basically everything is working perfectly, I'm just trying to place a sign-up form in a modal pop-up that appears when someone first visits the site.  The form itself works fine but I need to add target="_top" to the form tag or else submitting the form keeps the user within the modal pop-up window when they're redirected to the homepage. 

So, basically this:
<form  action="http://www. example.com/index.php?option=com_civicrm&amp;task=civicrm/profile/edit&amp;gid=4&amp;reset=1&amp;" method="post" name="Edit" id="Edit" >

Needs to be changed to this:
<form  action="http://www. example.com/index.php?option=com_civicrm&amp;task=civicrm/profile/edit&amp;gid=4&amp;reset=1&amp;" method="post" name="Edit" id="Edit" target="_top">

If anyone knows how this can be accomplished within civi or joomla your advice would be much appreciated.  (And don't worry, there are no spaces in the real urls; the site just isn't live yet so I can't provide the real links). 

You could use the Profile -> HTML Snippet option which gives you the complete HTML code for the form which you can paste into a static HTML document (after modifying the form target). Go to Administer > Customize > CiviCRM Profile and click the >more option in that Profile's row.
