So my initial issue is that whenever I click on a webpage (which loads an iFrame page within the page) and I interact with the iFrame, I have to click the back button multiple times in order to actually go back to the previous page I was on. I have found similar issues here which is pretty much what Im attempting, but I cannot use contentWindow.location.replace because of CORS/security restrictions.

What is an alternative to work around the CORs/security restrictions? I just need help using something else than contentWindow or can I use contentWindow somehow? to be able to not have more history added to the queue so the back button is only needed to be hit once instead of 2-3 times right now.

I am using

$('#myIFrame').setAttribute('src', `newUrl`);

in my code. So I figured that could be my solution, just cant figure out the contentWindow part. As I think the fix is the link I provided above. browser back acts on nested iframe before the page itself - is there a way to avoid it?

I have tried using the method up above but when I run it locally it gives me this error:Unhandled Runtime Error TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'contentWindow')

    Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. – Community Dec 05 '22 at 14:42

  • Have you explord the [History API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History)? Also, you can maybe have a go at saving the last visited page and add an event listener for a custom 'back' action? I have some suspicion that if the back button page is executed on the parent page, then you would actually go back; if that's not the case (really not sure!), then it means that your iframe is interacting with the session History, so you can just use that. – npetrov937 Dec 05 '22 at 14:59
  • Ill take a look at that for sure! – LocalProgrammer20 Dec 05 '22 at 15:28
