help with an iframe problem - please help

[Cloud]

Hi guys I hope that there is a solution for this as I am in dire need of one.

Basically I want to know if there is a way to create an iframe in one page so that it shows another page but when you click on a link in the iframe I want the link target to open in another page in the current window, so for instance if I am on the home page of a site and I have an iframe in that page showing the particular page I need to show in the home page, when a link in that iframe is clicked I want the link to open in a third page but I do not want another tab or window opened.

I am using the following iframe code

<iframe name=ifram1
src=http://www.sketchprinting.com/featuredproducts/featured.htm
width=100% height=100% scrolling=yes
frameborder=0></iframe>

I want any links to go to the page http://www.sketchprinting.com/featur...ucts/store.htm

At the moment when clicking on a link it just displays partially in the iframe, I do not want it to do that and I hope the guys on here with far more experience of html can help me, hopefully.

Hi Sketch,
Under the links tab, open link>> Parent frame (_parent)

If you want to open a page from an iframe in the current window/tab use

web properties >> link >> open link in: parent frame

Edit: beaten by James do I really type that slow ?

thanks for the quick replies guys but the links are in the iframe in that and I do not have access to the links as they are from ecwid.

but you do have control of the links at http://www.sketchprinting.com/featur...s/featured.htm

You could try adding <base target="_top" /> to the head section of the page you have the cart embedded.
Seems to work in FF but not IE.

Drwyd, The links are from ecwid, I do not have any control of those at all, they have a html code to embed a product individually so I will try that instead, thank you so much for the demo file. jamesd I tried your suggestion but no luck with it, thank you for trying.

Just had a look at your links and I can see your problem. I think it can be done with a little fiddling (as long as you don't mind losing the mouseover image zoom) but it wont be a robust solution. The individual links may be the best idea.

I have resorted to just displaying the featured products and then creating a box over the products (clear fill) then linking the box to the entire featured products category on another page, this works fine but still not the same as having something like opencart or oscommerce functionality.
