Target confirmation page to _top « Gravity Support Forums

I would like to embed a plain Gravity Form into an iframe on a 3rd party site.

Is there a way to target the confirmation page to _top upon a successful submission so that the thank you page shows up as its own page and not within the iframe.

If there is a validation error, I'd like the form to stay within the iframe.

I found another post here where there was a suggest to use Jquery to target it to _blank but there's a catch: when there is an error in the form, it seems to open the error in a new page as well.

Thanks in advance guys

I don't believe there is a way to use a php redirect header to force a new window. This is a PHP and browser functionality restriction, not a Gravity Forms restriction. I think you could use a redirect page with a special page template, and add this to the template, to break out of the iframe:
```
[js]
<script type='text/javascript'>
(function(window) {
  if (window.location !== window.top.location) {
    window.top.location = window.location;
  }
})(this);
</script>
```
Does that accomplish what you need without any ill effects?

Thanks Chris - this is a very interesting idea - I'm taking this out for a spin right now to see how it can work with Google Analytics etc. to capture the info: set the form confirmation to a custom page which then breaks out of the iframe to show the thank you page.

Really appreciate your feedback on this. I'll keep working away at this by adding a loading animation so that it doesn't show the page within the iframe and add a bit of a delay.

I saw in another post how you are considering an embed option in the future such as Wufoo etc. - this would be a very welcome addition in the future :-)

Which post are you referencing regarding Wufoo? I can't recall that one and don't want to forget about it.
