Answer 1

While I would not recommend this in general, you can overwrite the definition of the window.open function in the iframe, assuming your page and the iframe are in the same domain to avoid XSS security errors.

HTML:

javascript in the parent window:

var frame = document.getElementById('myFrame');

if (frame) {
    frame.contentWindow.open = function (url, windowName, windowFeatures) {
        // do whatever you want here (e.g. open an ajax modal frame)
    };
}
