Redirect parent window from an iframe action

1 Views

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.

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

    Will redirect the top most parent Iframe.

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

    Will redirect the parent iframe.

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

    window.top refers to the window object of the page at the top of the frames hierarchy.

  5. or an alternative is the following (using document object)

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

  7. This will solve the misery.

    <script>parent.location='http://google.com';</script>

  8. 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.

  9. For current page – window.location.href = “Your url here”;

    For Parent page – window.top.location.href = “Your url here”;

    From HTML

    <a href="http://someurl" target="_top">link</a>

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

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

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

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

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