mailto link not working within a frame chrome (over https)

Question

I have a mailto link on a page. It works as expected when the page is loaded by itself.

However when the page is loaded via a frameset in Chrome nothing happens. Wit

Answer 1

Here is the solution I ended up with: Tested with Chrome, Firefox, IE6, IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10, IE11, Safari

$("a[href^='mailto:']").on("click",function() {
    window.top.location = $(this).prop("href");
    return false;
});
