How to open links from inframe outside of it?

Question

well I have that problem, im using a lightbox srcipt and im opening an iframe in it so it's simply iframe. Is there a way to put a link inside of this iframe and open this link in normal window (outside of iframe) ?

Answer 1

Try adding target="_parent" to the link tag, to open the link in the parent page that contains the IFrame, or target="_blank, to open the link in a new browser window.

target="_blank"       New window
target="_self"        Current window
target="_parent"      Parent frame
target="_top"         Full browser window

Answer 2

Use <a href="..." target="_top">My Link</a>to put it on top of all other frames (break out).

_blank will put in a new window or tab

_parent will put the link in the frame above the current (same as _top if only one level of frame)

Using the name (not id) of a frame will open the link in that frame.

If you want to open the link in a new window/tab, use the _blank target:

<a href="someurl..." target="_blank">

If you want to open the link so that it replaces the page where the iframe is, use the _top target:

<a href="someurl..." target="_top">
