Redirect parent window from an iframe action

Question

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.

Answer 1

window.top.location.href = "http://www.example.com"; 

As stated previously, will redirect the parent iframe.

Answer 2

or an alternative is the following (using document object)

parent.document.location.href = "http://example.com";

Answer 3

Try using

window.parent.window.location.href = 'http://google.com'

Answer 4

It is possible to redirect from an iframe, but not to get information from the parent.

Answer 5

Redirect iframe in parent window by iframe in the same parent:

window.parent.document.getElementById("content").src = "content.aspx?id=12";

Answer 6

window.top.location.href = 'index.html';

This will redirect the main window to the index page. Thanks
