How can I load URL content in main window

Question

I am using below code to load some content in iFrame.

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
    <div style="position: absolute; overflow: hidden; left: 0px; top: 0px;  width:550px; height:280px;" onClick=onStopRecording();>
        <div style="overflow: hidden; margin-top: -100px; margin-left: -25px;"></div>
        <iframe id="exIframe" src="http://example.com" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"  style="height: 280px; border: 0px none; width: 550px; margin-top: -60px; margin-left: -24px;"></iframe>
    </div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Now when I click the URL inside the iFrame, it needs to redirect to that URL and get loaded in main window itself.

But it is loading inside the iFrame.

Please note that I am using third party site inside the iFrame where I can't have access to edit the code

Could you please help?

Thanks in advance.

No javascript required, set the `target` property of the `a` element to `_top` in your HTML. — Rory McCrossan, Sep 30 '15 at 14:43
but to do this I need to get the URL from iFrame right? which is not possible because of cross domain ? — Sophia Sutter, Sep 30 '15 at 15:25

You need to do it like this:

window.top.location.href = "http://www.google.com";

the URL which I use inside the iFrame is thirdparty site – Sophia Sutter Sep 30 '15 at 15:26
Doesn't matter AFAIK. As my example, google.com is third party. So if you want to change main page from inside iframe, you can. – Sep 30 '15 at 20:27
but we cannot capture the URL inside the iFrame? – Sophia Sutter Oct 01 '15 at 08:27
Which URL are you talking about? – Oct 01 '15 at 14:59
