Mah I use it on my website. If a user with js enabled accesses a page
without passing from the front page 8that is, outside a global frameset, for
the index page of the site _is_ a frameset file), I set up a few tricks to
let him/her see the desired page but firstly dashing through the main page,
so reinstating it within the frameset: but maybe for an iframe you don't
truly need a frameset, it might suffice that in your file you check whether
self.location==top.location.
If that is the case, you redirect to the other page which includes the
iframe document.
That is, put this command in your iframe meant file:
if(self.location==top.location)location.href="othe rfile.html";
Assuming otherfile.html is the file which includes the iframe.
it could be either simple like that, or you may append a ?plusData to the
url if you need to pass parameters emulating sort of a 'get' method in a
form..
