I have a home page, and in at the bottom of that home page, I have an iframe with another web page. That other web page has many URL links. Somewhat strangely, when I'm on that home page, and I click on a link in the iframe, it doesn't go there! I have to right click on it and "Open Link in New Tab" in order to open that link. I have to assume that since the iframe doesn't own the home page, it is reluctant to replace it.
How do I make it so that when I click on a link in an iframe, it just GOES THERE?
I should add that when both home page and iframe are local, everything works fine. It's when they are online that I have the problem. |

OK, fixed.
Need to put <base target="_parent"> in the <head> block of the page in the iframe.
Boy, that was easy! |

I do not use iframes anymore, is there a specific reason you use them still?
Anyways you could use <a href="" target="_blank">link here</a>
target="_blank" is for opening in a new page/tab. |
