How to redirect Iframe to another URL php

Question

I have parent page index.php and inside it i have iframe like below

<div id="main-content1" style="position:absolute;float:none;top:80px;margin-left:170px;width: 830px;">
            <iframe onload="IfarmeOnload();"  style="display:block; margin-left:none;  margin-right:none; width: 100%; height: 100%;" src="<?php echo $home; ?>" id="rightMenu" name="rightMenu"   frameborder="0"></iframe>

        </div>

when i click on the link that located in Parent window i want to redirect iframe content to according to that URL.

Then once Iframe loaded sucessfully i want redirect whole index.php page only once

EDIT

i tried this

echo "<script> document.getElementById('rightMenu').contentWindow.location='http://www.google.lk'</script>";

but this is redirecting to google.lk to not loading inside the ifamme

iframes are dated there are much better solutions such as ajax — user557846

Give your iframe a name:

<iframe name="myIframeName"></iframe>

Reference your iframe in desired hyperlinks with the target attribute:

<a href="/path/to/page.php" target="myIframeName"></a>

this is ok once redirect the iframe i want to refresh my parent window also without changing ifame contnet

The state of the iframe will not be retained once its parent window has been reloaded. Your only option at that point would be to default the source of the iframe once the parent window has been reloaded.

Another option might be to use DOM manipulation and get rid of the iframe altogether.

is there any way to refresh only parent object instead of ifame

Timothy Allyn Drake Over a year ago

No. However, if you take my suggestion regarding DOM manipulation you will eliminate the complexity and overhead associated with several round trips to the server, which ultimately creates a segmented and choppy experience for the end-user.

I do not seat by the computer but I think You need something like that Document.getElementById("rightMenu").location.href

Or try this one iframeobj.src = url

Or the same code that you wrote but without contentwindow
