If you are using iframe in your webpage you might encounter a problem while changing the whole page through a HTML hyperlink  anchor tag  from the iframe  There are two solutions to mitigate this problem    Solution 1  You can use target attribute of anchor tag as given in the following example    lt a target   parent  href  http   www kriblog com  gt link lt  a gt    Solution 2  You can also open a new page in parent window from iframe with JavaScript    lt a href     onclick  window parent location href  http   www kriblog com    gt    Remember   target   parent  has been deprecated in XHTML  but it is still supported in HTML 5 x   More can be read from following link  http   www kriblog com html link-of-iframe-open-in-the-parent-window html

The most versatile and most cross-browser solution is to avoid use of the  base  tag  and instead use the target attribute of the  a  tags    lt a target   parent  href  http   www stackoverflow com  gt Stack Overflow lt  a gt    The  lt base gt  tag is less versatile and browsers are inconsistent in their requirements for its placement within the document  requiring more cross-browser testing  Depending on your project and situation  it can be difficult or even totally unfeasible to achieve the ideal cross-browser placement of the  lt base gt  tag   Doing this with the target   parent  attribute of the  lt a gt  tag is not only more browser-friendly  but also allows you to distinguish between those links you want to open in the iframe  and those you want to open in the parent

I found the best solution was to use the base tag   Add the following to the head of the page in the iframe   lt base target  quot  parent quot  gt   This will load all links on the page in the parent window   If you want your links to load in a new window  use   lt base target  quot  blank quot  gt   Browser Support

As noted  you could use a target attribute  but it was technically deprecated in XHTML  That leaves you with using javascript  usually something like parent window location

There s a HTML element called base which allows you to       Specify a default URL and a default target for all links on a page     lt base target   blank    gt    By specifying  blank you make sure all links inside the iframe will be opened outside
