使用jQuery将页面重定向到iframe

Question

I have a job board website/script that uses 3rd party content that I collect from an XML feed. When the applicant hits the apply button for a job, an iframe opens but they are redirected to another website to apply. I would like the domain in the iframe to stay the same as my domain so they would appear to be applying on my domain. I tried changing:

window.location = '<?php echo jb_escape_html($data['app_url']);?>';

To

$('iframe').attr('src','<?php echo jb_escape_html($data['app_url']);?>';

But the iframe does not load the redirected url and gives a blank page as output. please help me overcome this hurdle.

Here is the original code

// redirect the user to a custom URL

    jb_app_redirect_script($data);



} elseif (JB_ONLINE_APP_SIGN_IN!='YES') {

    // users can apply without logging in

    jb_app_redirect_script($data);

}


}

function jb_app_redirect_script(&$data) {

    ?>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        function js_redirect() {
            // //parent.window.location = 'http://www.cnn.com/';
            window.location = '<?php echo jb_escape_html($data['app_url']);?>';
          }
          window.onload = js_redirect;
    </script>

    <?php


}

$JBMarkup->body_close();

$JBMarkup->markup_close();

If you don't have control over the 3rd party site, you will be hit with the cross-domain policy when attempting to interact with that iFrame.

If you're trying to circumvent this by artificially altering the domain, it won't work. However, if you do have control over the iFramed site, this is a good post for communicating between the two: Cross domain iframe issue .
