What JavaScript do I need to use to redirect a parent window from an iframe?
I want them to click a hyperlink which, using JavaScript or any other method, would redirect the parent window to a new URL.
What JavaScript do I need to use to redirect a parent window from an iframe?
I want them to click a hyperlink which, using JavaScript or any other method, would redirect the parent window to a new URL.
window.top.location.href = \"http://www.example.com\";
As stated previously, will redirect the parent iframe.
I found that <a href=\"...\" target=\"_top\">link</a>
works too
window.top.location.href = \"http://example.com\";
window.top
refers to the window object of the page at the top of the frames hierarchy.
or an alternative is the following (using document object)
parent.document.location.href = \"http://example.com\";
target=\"_parent\"
worked great for me. easy and hassle free!
@MIP is right, but with newer versions of Safari, you will need to add sandbox attribute(HTML5) to give redirect access to the iFrame. There are a few specific values that can be added with a space between them.
Reference(you will need to scroll): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/iframe
Ex:
<iframe sandbox=\"allow-top-navigation\" src=\"http://google.com/\"></iframe>
It is possible to redirect from an iframe, but not to get information from the parent.
This will solve the misery.
<script>parent.location=\'http://google.com\';</script>
window.top.location.href = \'index.html\';
This will redirect the main window to the index page. Thanks
If you\'d like to redirect to another domain without the user having to do anything you can use a link with the property:
target=\"_parent\"
as said previously, and then use:
document.getElementById(\'link\').click();
to have it automatically redirect.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<a id=\"link\" target=\"_parent\" href=\"outsideDomain.html\"></a>
<script type=\"text/javascript\">
document.getElementById(\'link\').click();
</script>
</body>
</html>
Note: The javascript click() command must come after you declare the link.
Try using
window.parent.window.location.href = \'http://google.com\'
Redirect iframe in parent window by iframe in the same parent:
window.parent.document.getElementById(\"content\").src = \"content.aspx?id=12\";
