You can embed an iframe in a page that is inside another iframe on another web page. When you set the target attribute to _parent, the link will open in the web page that is holding the iframe. In most situations with iframes, this target will open links in the same way that the _parent target does.
By adding target="_blank" to the anchor, it will open it in a new tab. By adding target="_parent" to the anchor, it will open it up in the same window like a normal link.
Solution with the HTML <base> tag To open the link from <iframe> in the parent window, you can use the <base> tag and set the target attribute to _parent in the <head> section.
You cannot fix this from Power Apps Portal side. Most probably web site that you try to embed as an iframe doesn't allow to be embedded. You need to update X-Frame-Options on the website that you are trying to embed to allow your Power Apps Portal (if you have control over that website).
Assuming the iFrame has a name attribute of "myIframe":
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="myIframe">Link Text</a>
You can also accomplish this with the use of Javascript. The iFrame has a src attribute which specifies the location it shows. As such, it's a simple matter of binding the click of a link to changing that src attribute.
Try this:
<iframe name="iframe1" src="target.html"></iframe>
<a href="link.html" target="iframe1">link</a>
The "target" attribute should open in the iframe.
Use attribute name.
Here you can find the solution ("Use iframe as a Target for a Link"): http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_iframe.asp
<a href="YOUR_URL" target="_YOUR_IFRAME_NAME">LINK NAME</a>
Because the target of the link matches the name of the iframe, the link will open in the iframe. Try this:
<iframe src="http://stackoverflow.com/" name="iframe_a">
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>
<a href="http://www.cnn.com" target="iframe_a">www.cnn.com</a>
I had this problem in a project this morning. Make sure you specify the base tag in the head section.
It should be like this:
<head>
<base target="name_of_iframe">
</head>
That way when you click a link on the page it will open up inside of the iframe by default.
Hope that helped.
Well, there's an alternate way! You can use a button instead of hyperlink. Hence, when the button is clicked the web page specified in "name_of_webpage" is opened in the target frame named "name_of_iframe". It works for me!
<form method="post" action="name_of_webpage" target="name_of_iframe">
<input type="submit" value="any_name_you_want" />
</form>
<iframe name="name_of_iframe"></iframe>
