How to make links inside an IFRAME to open outside this Iframe?

I have created a widget kind of. In reality I put the information in a php file and then I provided the Iframe code for this file to my members.

Considering site A is member's site and site B is my site.

Site A shows the IFRAME:

<iframe src="http://siteB.com/try.php" height="240px" width="286px"></iframe>

When this IFRAME is clicked, it opens a new pop window, because of this code:

<a href="#" onClick="return mbetter('http://siteB.com/chat/new_chat.php?reader=<?php echo $id; ?>')"><?php echo $status_img; ?></a>

So far so good.

Now the problem is this pop up window also has a link. How can I make this link open outside this IFRAME, to be more specific, to take them to Site B , my site . At the moment this link opens inside the iframe and it can't be used this way.

This last link is:

<a onclick="return targetopener(this,true)" target="_top" href="http://siteB.com/services.php">

It works perfectly in my site but not in an Iframe. I know I complicated myself a little with this iframe but I adapted a solution to my poor knowledge. I'm opened to new solutions though, if this link can't be opened outside the Iframe. Thank you in advance!

You can use this base tag. Place the tag in the iframe. Should solve your issue.

Try changing target to _parent if you want the link to open in the previous window (it's parent window). So if site B opens up a pop-up with site A inside that then must refer them back to Site B then this should open the link in the window that spawned the popup.

But if you want it to open a new window that leads to your website then of course use _blank.
