    I would try to avoid using iframes, but if you have to try target="_parent".

    I forgot to add that you need to add some javascript to make the target work. This is only for inline frames not normal frames.

    The code for your iframe page:
    Code:
    <html>
<head>
    <title>iframe page</title>
    <script type="text/javascript"><!--
        document=parent.document;
//--></script>
</head>

<body>
<a href="http://www.example.com" target="_parent">link open in parent</a>
</body>
</html>
    But again try not to use frames if you can.

    cool tht will be helpful :)

    yeah i always try to avoid frames but structure is bit complicated as for outer frame they were using mootools script and for scroller they were using jquery so there was scripts clashing so i suggested for iframe.

    but finally got the solution and as soon as the site is live i will share the link here.

    mootools & jquery or mix any others have a tendency to not play well together.
    it's always best to pick one and go with it.

    What is the reason for avoiding iframes? I'm not to familiar with the subject, but I've found them kind of useful
