How to force link from iframe to be opened in the parent window
You can use any options
in case of only parent page:
if you want to open all link into parent page or parent iframe, then you use following code in head section of iframe:
<base target="_parent" />
OR
if you want to open a specific link into parent page or parent iframe, then you use following way:
<a target="_parent" href="http://specific.org">specific Link</a>
<a href="http://normal.org">Normal Link</a>
OR
in case of nested iframe:
If want to open all link into browser window (redirect in browser url), then you use following code in head section of iframe:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).load(function(){
$("a").click(function(){
top.window.location.href=$(this).attr("href");
return true;
})
})
</script>
OR
if you want to open a specific link into browser window (redirect in browser url), then you use following way:
<a href="http://specific.org" target="_top" >specific Link</a>
or
<a href="javascript:top.window.location.href='your_link'">specific Link</a>
<a href="javascript:top.window.location.href='http://specific.org'">specific Link</a>
<a href="http://normal.org">Normal Link</a>
With JavaScript:
window.parent.location.href= "http://www.google.com";
I found the best solution was to use the base tag. Add the following to the head of the page in the iframe:
<base target="_parent">
This will load all links on the page in the parent window. If you want your links to load in a new window, use:
<base target="_blank">
Browser Support
Use target-attribute:
<a target="_parent" href="http://url.org">link</a>
