html - mailto link not working within a frame chrome (over https)

Question

I have a mailto link on a page. It works as expected when the page is loaded by itself.

However when the page is loaded via a frameset in Chrome nothing happens. With the developer tools loaded the error "[blocked] The page at https://mysite.com ran insecure content from mailto:..." is displayed.

How can I fix/workaround this?

Answer 1

Yes, using "top" is the trick, but you can do it with HTML alone!

<a target="_top" href="mailto:...">email</a>
