loading page in iframe - changing 'top'

[shauny]

hi, i'm an absolute js noob, and was wondering if this can be done... i have a page which cannot be loaded in an iframe, as it contains this code:


<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
if (self != top)
{
alert('Page cannot be loaded inside frame...')
location.replace("http://www.google.com");
}
-->
</script>


so, i need self to equal top, or the page will be redirected. how can i do this?

Try comparing URLs instead:

if(parent.location != self.location) {
alert("This page cannot be loaded in a frameset.");
location.replace("http://www.google.com/");
}

That means that page has not the same domain as your parent page. In this case you must know that is NOTHING you can do, as there is no way to acces in iframe a different domain sited page's elements (objects, functions). This is due to obvious security issues implemented in all browsers.
