To force all links to open in an iframe, you can use JavaScript to dynamically update the target attribute of all anchor tags on your webpage. Here is an example code snippet that you can add to your webpage:

1
2
3
4
5
6
window.onload = function() {
  var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
  for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
    links[i].setAttribute('target', 'iframe_name'); //replace 'iframe_name' with the name of your iframe
  }
}


In this code snippet, we are selecting all anchor tags on the webpage and setting their target attribute to the name of the iframe where you want the links to open. Make sure to replace 'iframe_name' with the actual name of your iframe.


Additionally, you will need to make sure that your iframe is present on the webpage and that it has a unique name attribute specified. Here is an example of an iframe element:

1
<iframe name="iframe_name" src="https://example.com"></iframe>


By using this JavaScript code, all links on your webpage will open in the specified iframe instead of loading in the current tab or window.
