Re: [support] Question about iFrames

Ah, yes. You are right. Here is an example:

<a href="http://foo.org/moodle/" onclick="this.target='_top'">Home</a>

Knowing where the problem is, now I can edit the Moodle theme and remove all onclick="..." properties. The links seem to work well now.

Thanks!

I would guess that some links in the iframe have a target that directs to the _parent or _top frame. Something like <a href="http://foo.org/moodle/bla" target="_top">Moodle's Bla</a>. Either that or there is some javascript fooling around directing certain targets to the _top frame instead of _self.

Kindly, Maarten

Hello,

This is an HTML question. I installed the Moodle integration module. It
puts Moodle inside an <iframe> in a Drupal page. So far so good. The
problem is when you click on a link inside Moodle (iframe). I always
thought that clicking on a link inside an iframe would only change the
contents of the iframe. But this is not what always happens. Some times
the entire browser page refreshes, taking you out of Drupal, to Moodle,
and breaking the illusion that Moodle is inside Drupal.

What is especially disconcerting is that this happens on some pages but
not others. So it creates a weird kind of unpredictability that I'm sure
will annoy users.

I cannot see any obvious reason why there is a difference. The links
that produce different results don't look all that different. They are
all on the same domain, of the form http://foo.org/moodle/<something>.

Does anyone know what can cause this behaviour? I need to understand the
root cause at the HTML level before I can figure out if there is
something I can change at either Moodle or Drupal to correct the
problem.

Thanks for the help.

Daniel.
