HTML Help: Break Frames

How do I prevent my site from being displayed in someone else's frames?

A little JavaScript will keep your site from being trapped in someone else's frames in most cases. It won't work in browser's that have JavaScript turned off, but most people do not have JavaScript disabled.

Place the following code in the HEAD section of your page:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (top.frames.length!=0) {
    if (window.location.href.replace)
        top.location.replace(self.location.href);
    else
        top.location.href=self.document.href;
}
</script>

This has to be done on a page-by-page basis. If there are just a few problem pages you won't have much work, but if it's a problem across your site you may have a lot of work inserting that code in every page.

If that's the case I recommend using a search and replace utility to make batch changes, then the only work you'll have to do is upload the pages.
