The Ultimate Content Protector
By David Fiedler Confound content and bandwidth thieves with this deceptively simple script OK. You've been framed and you don't like it. Now what? Although the practice is becoming less common these days, quite a number of webmasters have been surprised to find that their content pages have been "frame hijacked" by other sites. While it's relatively simple to find when someone has actually copied your pages (just select a unique phrase, other than a copyright, and search for it on AltaVista), frame hijacking occurs when the evildoer puts your page in their frame. That makes it look as though they wrote your page (especially since their URL, not yours, is displayed). This is generally done in order to unfairly profit from your work, so you'll also usually see one of their ad banners above your content. Even worse, they're stealing your bandwidth (which you're paying for) because you're serving the pages right to their visitors! Fortunately, it's easy to break out of unwanted frames. It only takes one line of JavaScript code (though it must be surrounded by the usual headers and footers) in the <BODY> of your page: <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- Begin if (window != top) top.location.href = location.href; // End --> </SCRIPT>
