I have a JS game that's running inside an IFRAME, which is scaleable and all that fancy stuff.
The game contains a link to the next page, and the link works brilliantly.
Problems is that the link is opening inside the IFRAME and not the parent window. I need the flow to continue in the parent window and not the iframe.
the way the next page is linked in the IFRAME is like this:
LINK_BUTTON="data.php",
That's the only piece of code pointing out the link. To my regret I can't FIDDLE this because of disclosure issues.
Can anyone help me out?

- Yes it is. It's the first line next to the "var". – Tjoerie Commented May 28, 2015 at 10:39

Reset to default 2Use target="_parent" on your link.
<a target="_parent" href="data.php">link</a>
Or from Javascript
window.top.open("data.php");
Use the target attribute. This will force the link to open in the parent.
<a target="_parent" href="data.php">Next</a>
You can just set the target attribute. To open in the current top window (top frame):
<a href="http://example." target="_top">Link Text</a>
Or to open in a new window:
<a href="http://example." target="_blank">Link Text</a>
There's also _parent for the parent window (not necessarily the top) and _self for the current window (the default).
The short answer, as given above, is really to add target="_parent" attribute to your anchor (link).
The catch here is that you'll have to find in the javascript code where the LINK_BUTTON is used to generate the rendered link, and then in the code, add the target attribute.
