Is it possible for the iframe to redirect to the parent page?

Is it possible for an iframe to redirect to the page where it is enabled?

Example:

You go to www.fuu.com

Fuu.com has an iframe

With the iframe being a website, redirect to another website.

Is fuu.com redirect possible? instead of just the iframe going to another page?

Not. IFrame is treated as a separate document with its own DOM. A redirect within an iframe is treated as a redirect only within that iframe.

In other words, the master page cannot be redirected using an iframe.

EDIT: I was wrong. Consider the following situation:

Top page

<html>
<body>
<iframe src="redirect.html"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

redirect.html

<html>
    <head>
        <script>
            window.top.location = "http://www.w3schools.com";
        </script>
    </head>
</html>


This redirects the top page to w3schools.com

To prevent this type of thing, you can remove it using the following

<html>
<body>
<iframe src="redirect.html" sandbox="allow-scripts"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

In chrome, this will result in the following error:

Unsafe JavaScript attempt to initiate navigation for frame with URL 'http://127.0.0.1/scg/?search=&submit=Search' from frame with URL 'http://127.0.0.1/scg/iframeRedirect.html'. The frame attempting navigation of the top-level window is sandboxed, but the 'allow-top-navigation' flag is not set.

Permission scripts allow Javascript to still execute in the iframe, but removes window.top from execution permission. check it
