Using Kevin Vella's idea, I tried adding that attribute to form elements made by PayPal's button generator. Worked for me so that Paypal does not open in a new browser window/tab.

Answer 2

I'm not sure how relevant it is, but I built a work-around to this. On my site, I wanted to display link in a modal window that contained an iframe which loads the URL.

What I did is, I linked the click event of the link to this javascript function. All this does is make a request to a PHP file that checks the URL headers for X-FRAME-Options before deciding whether to load the URL within the modal window or to redirect.

Here's the function:

  function opentheater(link, title){
        $.get( "url_origin_helper.php?url="+encodeURIComponent(link), function( data ) {
  if(data == "ya"){
      $(".modal-title").html("<h3 style='color:480060;'>"+title+"&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<small>"+link+"</small></h3>");
        $("#linkcontent").attr("src", link);
        $("#myModal").modal("show");
  }
  else{
      window.location.href = link;
      //alert(data);
  }
});


        }

Here's the PHP file code that checks for it:

<?php
$url = rawurldecode($_REQUEST['url']);
$header = get_headers($url, 1);
if(array_key_exists("X-Frame-Options", $header)){
    echo "nein";
}
else{
    echo "ya";
}


?>

Hope this helps.
