Force iframe link to open in same iframe

Question

I'm using iframe to open a website in html. However, many target attributes are _blank and _top in the website.

Therefore, the pages always open in a new window.

How to force the link open in same inframe in html?

My code below:

<iframe name="inapp" frameborder="0" src="http://www.w3schools.com" target="_self"></iframe>

I'm afraid you can't if you are embedding a page from another website. There's strict cross-domain security measures in browser to prevent your page from accessing the contents of the iFrame. If you have control over the underlying page, then that's different, but I guess you wouldn't have the target issue in the first place.

iFrame couldn't force all links open inside same iFrame? Have any other method to do? – user1735815 Jun 02 '16 at 07:09
No. It's not your website. You can't control where the links go. – Quentin Jun 02 '16 at 08:06
