Thanks for the link and comments Julian. I read completely the post, and realized that in my case it is ok to use the iframes. Some of the comments say that it is not good practice to use them as site navigation, which is not the case. I am using iframes only to popup information on demand.
"If you are using it to simply embed a page inside your content, I think that is fine. That is what an iframe is for." Adzm Brian mentioned that "iframe cause noticeable slowdown in the speed your page downloads". Again, in my case the iframe will only load when the user click in the map requesting information about the layer. They will not load "on map load". I believe that the only issue that can affect me is the possibility that it might fail for some browsers. I tested so far with the major browsers and it worked. I've noticed some problems with the iphone but it is related with zooming, not the popups. Therefore, so far so good. As for just writing javascript code let me explain that I am an engineer who is programming for necessity. Therefore, I am looking first for simple solutions. If I don't find then I will have to write code. Cheers.

The data is coming from Postgres that do not support links as datatypes and Geoserver sends the information as plain text. Is there a way that geoserver can provide them as links? info_reservoir = wms_bmid_reservoir.getGetFeatureInfoUrl( evt.coordinate, viewResolution, 'EPSG:3857', { 'INFO_FORMAT': 'text/html' }) content.innerHTML = '<iframe seamless src="' + info_reservoir + '"></iframe>'; overlay.setPosition(coordinate); Thanks in advance for any ideas.
