I have an iframe with a website inside it. I want that when a person clicks on a link inside the iframe a new window should open up bringing the user to the page in the website (that was in the iframe) that they were trying to go to. I hope I am being clear. Thanks so much (in advance) for all the help.

I don't have access to the links.

If you don't have an access to the pages, I am not sure how much you can do. You can try to attach onclick event on the frame it self and try to intercept them, but I am not sure if this will work.

document.getElementById('ifrm').contentWindow.document.body.onclick=function(){ //put your code here }

You need to write code in the function and 'ifrm' is your iframe ID

onclick is not valid for an iframe. I was wondering if it would even be possible for me to do this! If anyone knows that I can I would really appreciate it. Thanks for trying, Yusuf!

That wouldn't have the effect that I want. I may fall back on this if I can't work it out. Thanks.
