Prevent iframe from reloading the parent window

Question

Is it possible to prevent an iframe from reloading the parent window?

The sandbox attribute without allow-top-navigation prevents redirection but doesn't prevent reloading.

PS: I need the sandbox to allow both allow-scripts and allow-same-origin .

Answer 1

See the findings here, it was a question asked previously. It experiments with stopping the page reload using preventDefault()

$(window).bind({
    beforeunload: function(ev) {
        ev.preventDefault();
    },
    unload: function(ev) {
        ev.preventDefault();
    }
});

Prevent refreshing / reloading a page with JavaScript

Note: This can be done using Javascript also with a bit more work.
