How do I stay in the frame when I click on a link in the iFrame?

    IFrame appears to work in a WordPress page except that I find that I jump out of the page on the /second/ click.

    I am hosting all the files locally (internal). I have have a lot of html files all linking off an index.htm. The first click I follow stays in the frame, but on subsequent clicks the page loads in the whole window.

    Here is the WP page. https://www.carbon-cycle.net/subject-and-author-index/
    – Try clicking ‘Author Index’ into fab.htm.
    In the next page if you click on faa.htm fab.htm fac.htm fad.htm fae.htm… they all open in the whole window. fab.htm is the same fab.htm that you clicked on in the index.htm.

    Any ideas would be very good, preferably ones that do not require manual editing of about 750 html files.

    Most likely you have a target set at this links you would have to remove. If you are on the same domain the pro version can change the targets dynamically for you.
    See

    For more help please to the forum of the pro version.

    Hi,
    I downloaded and installed Advanced IFrame Pro.

    I am using it on:
    https://www.carbon-cycle.net/subject-and-author-index/

    I still do not understand how to change links targets as in:
    ‘Example 10: Change links targets at the parent and at the iframe page if the iframe is on the same domain’

    I tried something like this:
    [advanced_iframe securitykey=”my-key” use_shortcode_attributes_only=”true” src=”https://www.carbon-cycle.net/ftp-admin/SandA/index.htm” id=”entry-content” height=”1050″ width=”100%” scrolling=”no” change_parent_links_target=”a#fs0.htm|a#fab.htm|a#citaform.htm” change_iframe_links=”#iframe-navigation a”]

    Did I do it right? I don’t think so.

    Always on any child page, if you click any link then you lose the frame, same as before. I have about 750 html pages coming off the parent index.htm. I cannot modify them all, well yes I could, but I thought that iFrame Pro could keep them all in the frame.

    The files are on my domain – does it matter where on the domain, or not?

    Thanks.

    In your case you have not configured it right need to use
    change_iframe_links=”a” and change_iframe_links_target=”_self”

    and you need of course adopt the settings to your page. If you only copy my example it cannot work as you have for sure different ids ;).

    I have added a line to the parent index.htm:
    <base target=”name”>

    And defined “name” in the shortcode

    I also had to take out a lot of target =”_top” from my other htm files.

    Thanks.
