Is it possible to replace the content of the browser window (_top frame) with the document loaded in an iframe, without issuing a new GET to load that document?
Something like this:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#link").click(function() {
// should present in the browser window the content of the iframe WITHOUT reload
// even preserve javascript/head code
$(document).html($("#frameDestination").html());
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a id="link" href="#">full window</a>
<iframe id="frameDestination" src="http://www.some-random-site.com" width="900px" height="500px"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

Use contents() when working with an iframe in jQuery.
$("#YourIframe").contents().find("html").html();
This is only going to work if the iframe is in the same domain as the parent.

I haven't tested cross domain, but on the same domain I have this script working:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#link").click(function() {
var iframeBody = document.getElementById("frameDestination").contentDocument,
head = iframeBody['head'].innerHTML,
body = iframeBody['body'].innerHTML;
$('body').html( body );
$('head').html( head );
});
});
In the latest Firefox, I'm even able to set a variable in a script tag in the frame, and see that value in _top after clicking the link.
