Is there any way to identify the url being viewed in an iframe? And is there any way to force the links in an iframe to be opened in a new tab/window?

Most importantly, can this be done notwithstanding the same original policy for foreign source frames? And if not, why does this violate that policy?

By foreign I mean, not hosted by the same domain. So for example, www.google.com is foreign to the website www.stackoverflow.com.

The only way you can get the url loaded inside an iframe is when the iframe's url points to the same domain that the parent. Here is a good explanation of why you can't do that otherwise.

  • But I don't understand HOW it is possible for the browser to render the page in the iframe, if it is IMPOSSIBLE to access the iframe. Is there a solution if I can install software on the computer? etc. – COMisHARD Apr 13 '16 at 23:54
