iframe issue with html/javascript

[dmalhotr2001]

I have a header and a footer iframe inside a page. What I would like
to do is when i click on a link inside either of the iframe, that it
open up inside the main page rather than the iframe itself. Is there
a way to do that?

Thanks

from HTML: <a ... target="_parent"
from JS: window.parent.location.href = ...

To work around the SOP, only

window.parent.location = ...

as the `href' property is tainted. Scripting should be avoided here,
though.

Header and footer iframes? I don't know what kind of page you're working
on, but a server-side solution may work better for you (and your
visitors).

And/or block-level elements positioned fixed with CSS (and IE 6 workaround),
in which case none of the above would be necessary.
