Good day to all.

I have this setup:

One page with text/whatever, that also includes an iframe (the page in iframe is created by me so I have access to it, I can modify its content).

What I need to do is that when I access a link from the iframe to open it on the mother page (navigate).

Until now I kind of failed to do that so any help would be appreciated.

For any further info just ask.

In all of the links that you want to affect the parent window do something like this:

<a href="somthing.html" target="_parent">GO THERE!</a>

Or with javascript:

<a href="javascript:window.parent.location = 'somthing.html';" >GO SOMEWHERE!</a>

If all you need to do is change the parent window's location from inside the iframe, it is very simple:

 window.parent.location = 'newWindow.html';

Or if you are using a link, just use it's "target" attribute.

You should use the target attribute <a href="" target="...">

For all the possible values of target, you can go here.
