Redirect parent window from an iframe action

Solution 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.

Solution 2:

I found that <a href="..." target="_top">link</a> works too

Solution 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.

Solution 4:

target="_parent" worked great for me. easy and hassle free!

Solution 5:

or an alternative is the following (using document object)

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