Detecting iframe location & opening iframe location in a new tab/window

[k12onos]

Hi

I'm searching for a way to open the page inside an iframe in a new tab/window.

If let say my iframe content is initially google.com, then user cilcked (inside the iframe) the "images" link and then the iframe is directed to google.com/images.

I want a link on my page (outside the iframe) that allows them to open google.com/images in a new tab/window. This link would follow whatever the iframe content is. So even when they browsed to some random web page from my iframe, they can open that page in a new window by using that link.

Though i'm not going to be using this to let my users browse some random page on google in my iframe, I belive this analogy serves the purpose of explaining it :P


I tried to google it but I can't find a relevant answer.

Anyone can help me with this? Any answer or even pointers would be very much appreciated

You can't detect the iframe location unless both pages are on the same domain.

If they are, it's simple. Iframes are numbered from 0 to however many are on the page. So - say you just have one iframe:

<a href="#" onmouseover="this.href = window.frames[0].location.href;" target="_blank">Open Iframe Contents in a New Tab</a>

Exactly what I'm looking for! Luckily my iframe content is in the same domain. Thanks a lot!
