Click on iframe using javascript

Question

I have an iframe advertisment on my site, and i want when I click it to automatically opens in another tab. But I don't really know how to do it. I am trying with that way but it isnt working:

document.getElementById("ad_frame").contentWindow.document.body.click()

If you want to open in new tab, why you are using iframe? You can use anchor tag with target="_blank" — 111

This sound like an attempt to build up clicks on advertisement to gain more revenue, if so then you might want to make sure this isn't going to breach the agreements as you could face legal action. Example google adsense, this would be against their terms/agreements. Reason for my suspicion? Adverts/Click without them knowing how — NewToJS

It's 100% legal, be sure. And i can't use an anchor, because when i clicking it, i just get redirected to a picture that need to be clicked once again to be delivered to target site :\ — user3416803

You can simply do it by window.open() function. Like that:

 <script language="javascript">
 window.open("http://www.ad-site.com");
 </script>

If this doesn't answer the question, please specify the question better.

I have an iframe with link like adv-partner.com/11111, it need be clicked so user can be redirected to target page. That's why my question is how do i click this iframe with JS?

If you use window.open like I specified before, it opens the link you supply. Just change the URL in brackets. Your add site will STILL count this as a click from unique IP adress. However I do not recommend this, because many users will dislike closing new tab. There is no such thing as "click iframe with JS".

The problem is that link in iframe contains picture with a link, so it need to be clicked to deliver user to target page.

...So your problem here is, that you need to first obtain the real link, and then open a new tab with that link. I will look up some solutions, because I'm not sure you can just do that from iframed content...

Thank you for your time! I think i will stick to solution, not to force open that frame and not disturb users :)
