Hi, Im using an iframe on my window with some links inside of it. When you click the links they open on the same iframe, how can I open them on the main window and keep the iframe the same?

To open the link on the main window you need to add the target: top attribute to the link:

<a href="http://www.scriptingok.com" target="_top">scriptingok</a>

But this will make disappear your iframe (unless the iframe is also included in the new loaded document). I think you need another iframe for the main content and this can help so the iframe doesnt need to be loaded each time:

<!--for the link on the iframe-->
<a href="http://www.scriptingok.com" target="main">scriptingok</a>


<!--for the now needed main iframe-->
<iframe name="main"></iframe>
