Is there a way to prevent an iframe from redirecting parent window, but in such a way that “top level” redirects still work inside the iframe itself?

Question

So I\'ve read about the HTML5 sandbox property and I understand that if I want to prevent an iframe redirect its parent window I can use the sandbox property leavin

Answer 1

At the time of writing this works on Chrome, Safari, Firefox and recent versions of IE and Opera but does pretty much what you want:

Allows the iframe content to be treated as being from the same origin as the containing document

Browser Compatibility
