I'm using iframe to open a website in html.
However, many target attributes are _blank and _top in the website.
Therefore, the pages always open in a new window.
How to force the link open in same inframe in html?
My code below:
<iframe name="inapp" frameborder="0" src="http://www.w3schools.com" target="_self"></iframe>
I'm afraid you can't if you are embedding a page from another website. There's strict cross-domain security measures in browser to prevent your page from accessing the contents of the iFrame.
If you have control over the underlying page, then that's different, but I guess you wouldn't have the target issue in the first place.

How can I make it so that when I click on another page in an iframed it opens within the iframe? I own both the website being iframed and the site with the iframe, so if I need to do something with the configuration of either that is fine. Thanks for your time!
That is the default behaviour.
So don't:
Use JavaScript to trigger non-standard link behaviour
Use a target attribute on the link
Use a target attribute on a <base> element
Use an CSP to block the page from being loaded in a frame
Use an X-Frame-Options header to block the page from being loaded in a frame
On the site that you are embedding the iframe on, enter this code:
<iframe src="Your iframe url" width="100%" height="100%" name="search_iframe"></iframe>
On the site within the iframe insert this code, and make sure the url is the other link you want to redirect to in the iframe:
<html>Link_name</html>
This should let you redirect in an iframe, but remember to add the href code for each link, otherwise it will open the link outside of the iframe.
I want to click on a link inside iframe onload with the help of JavaScript, I have a site loading inside an iframe, now I want to click a link of a particular div (ID) on page load. The link is inside the iframe.
Actually I'm trying to change the language of the website which is loading in the iframe, the site has gtranslate plugin installed and has different language flag at the footer of the site.
Basically is it possible to force a page to be translated when the page loads?
The Same Origin Policy prevents you from scripting an Iframe from a different domain.
Possible answer here
I have a website with an iframe on one page that goes to an external URL (which I have no control over). I am trying to find a way to have all the links in the Iframe (not the entire page) open in a new window. I've tried a couple solutions with no luck. Is there a way I can target the iframe and use the HTML base tag?
Due to the Same Origin Policy, you can only modify the contents of an iframe if the domains and protocols match.
I have an iframe that shows a website on another domain that has links in it that have target="_parent" attributes. So instead of loading the link in the iframe, it redirects the whole page. Is there a way to catch this event, cancel it, and set the iframe's url to that link using jQuery or just straight javascript?
With browsers that support it, the best you could do is to use the sandbox-attribute:
<iframe sandbox="allow-forms allow-scripts allow-same-origin"></iframe>
The iframe is not allowed to change the top location now unless you list "allow-top-navigation" in the attribute.
But instead of the link working in the iframe, the links don't work at all and a security error is logged in console:

I have a html based application and sometimes my html app needs to open another url in iframe.
the problem is that the third party url in the iframe open a new window too with the same content, the same url.
so how can i prevent it?
This seems like an iframe breakoutscript in the thirdparty page. A few links about a solution to this problem.
