I am using the very handy JCE MediaBox Popups feature. I have a page with JCE MediaBox Popup links and the page is inside an iframe of the main page. The "problem" is that the popup only pops up inside the iframe.

Is there a way to pop the popup out of the iframe so that it pops up on the main page?

Thanks.

The whole purpose of iframe is to retain all code within it, I doubt there is a way to do so.

I just did a quick google search and nothing came up, I think you may be looking for a tough function. Have you contacted JCE to see if they have the answer.

On the subject of Iframes, there is a debate about whether they help SEO or Hinder I am on the side of hinder and my own experiences back that up. Do you some searches on iframe. I only say this assuming seo is important.

I know that code-wise it should be possible as the I have used another pop-up script before which had this functionality (Lytebox). I would use this but it's not a Joomla plugin and also I need the JCE text editor controls as I need full control without having to touch the HTML.

I haven't contacted JCE yet only because I don't currently have a JCE subscription.

I originally wasn't going to use iframes for this specific project but I'm using some other necessary javascript functions which were causing some conflicts and using iframes was the solution that worked.

Thanks for looking.

Let me know how you solved it as I have done more searches and can't find the answer.

Am I understanding you correctly?

You have a page popping up in a popup (the iframe) with some links on that page and clicking those links opens the links within the popup (iframe)? Then you would use target="_top" in the links which would open a link from within the popup in the main browser window.

Code:
<a href="link.html" target="_top">


Again, that is if I am understanding you correctly. ;)

Markstein, thanks for the reply but that isn't quite what I am after.

The link is on a page in an iframe and I'm wanting the link to open as a JCE MediaBox PopUp (which is a lightbox/etc link and not just a new window) in the full page and not just in the iframe.
