Inside a frame?

[darrensw]

Hi

Is there anyway to tell if a page is being shown in a frame.

Here's what I am doing...

I have a site which has a number of pages shown, a forum actually, on just the normal site - that's fine.

I also have the same pages shown inside a frame on my site from a different place - i want to amend the header and whole nav system when it is inside the frame, but, need to know when it is inside.

Any ideas would be welcomed.

Thanks

Darren

thats a javascript question, but ill still help 🙂

to find out if it is in a frame:

<script>
if(top.location==this.location)
{
write("not in frame");
}
else
{
write("in frame");
}
</script>

if you want to conditionally append a header, you can do it through a url argument like so:

<script>
if(top.location!=this.location)
{
location="page?show_header=false"
}
</script>

use the variable show header in your php code to determine if the header is shown. it should probably show the header by default if the variable is not set thru the url.

hope that works,

Hi Paul

Thanks, but, i am trying to do something like:

if(top.location!=this.location)
{
location=this.location + "?frame=1"
}

Which of course gives me an endless loop.

This is killing me ;0)

try this:

<? if(!$frame) { ?>
if(top.location!=this.location)
{
location=this.location + "?frame=1"
}
<? } ?>
