turn iframe into parent window 1

[dugen]

I have a login on a page inside of an iframe. When a user logs in, i want the page that comes up to be the new parent window.

I have no control over the login... it is a login for a site i have nothing to do with.

Is this possible?

You won't have control to run scripts on someone else's site, even if it loads up in a frame on your site.

take a look at this link... it seems like the problem that BigJunk is having is what i want my page to do.
After the login the external site overtakes his site.

BigJunk is having what you want your page to do, but his problem is reverse of yours.

In his situation he is loading up a remote login page into his iframe. On that remote login page there is a script that is run (on that page) that removes the login from any frames. He was wanting to stop this behavior, but since he was loading up a page on a remote server, he had no control on what scripts ran on that page.

So, to break out of the iframe, you need to run a script on the page that is loaded in the iframe. Since you are loading up a page that is on another server and you have no control over, you cannot force a script to run on that page (as I stated above).
