Opening External Page in My Frameset

Hi,

I'm trying to load a page external to my website into my frame. I have
several links on my page that work fine but when connecting to the site
http://www.formulaboats.com
I am forced out of my frames and the above link is opened in the whole
window. I'm assuming the formualboats site has stopped people from
opening their pages in frames but my questions are
1. How did they do this? Is it an HTML thing or a javascript thing?
2. Is there a way around it so I can open their page in my frame.

Thanks very much!

Could be.

Apparently, they've discovered you were stealing their content and
took measures so you can't display their material in your site.

Way around? There may be, but (what's that old line?) then we'd have
to kill you.
Thanks very much!


Quite welcome.

See in the source :

if (parent.frames. length) { top.location=do cument.location ;}It's JavaScript,
and it force to open the document in a whole window.

Javascript.

Tell your visitors to disable JavaScript.

You still haven't answered the burning question: why do you want to
frame someone else's site?

What is *your* URL?

Ahh, ok. Easy answer.

You still haven't answered the burning question: why do you want to
frame someone else's site?

"I" really don't. It's a client whose site I'm working on. I personally
find the frames obnoxious but the client likes them and I needed to have an
answer for them as to why the outside content wouldn't load in their
frame and if there was an option to make it work.
What is *your* URL?
It's just a test domain that I use when developing sites. The client
URL hasn't been made live yet.

Thanks very much for the help. I really appreciate it.

Does this client also own the boating site?
personally find the frames obnoxious
Well, that is good. ;-)
but the client likes them and
If they don't own that site, are they aware of the possible
implications of copyright infringement? Trying to pass the content as
their own?

See what happens when you tell them it is a copyright violation. <g>

I started adding the breakout code to my sites a few years ago when I
found one lodged in someone else's tiny frame. It essentially
destroyed the usability of my site: ability to bookmark, overflow of
my client's product graphics, etc. This boat site would look terrible
in a... 600px frame.

Excellent idea.
I spoke with the client earlier and they swear their "other" html guy was
able to insert some code that allowed the outside content to be displayed
in their frame. I'm doubtful. In any case, I'm not really the HTML
programmer; I'm doing the database work on the backend. (perl/mysql).
They HTML guy I'm working with didn't know the answer to this question
which is how this got put in my lap.

Thanks again.

Yes.


Top-posting is discouraged in many groups.

There are many, many issues with framing someone else's site.

The answer is to put code in your site that disables or replaces the
javascript in theirs. It can be done (usually), but it's rude, obnoxious,
destroys the usability of the other site oftentimes, and can even be illegal
if the content is copywritten.
So, no, I'm not going to post the actual code for the solution. It also
relies on a known vulnerability in a specific, but very popular, browser.

Here's an interesting delema. I have two on-line manuals built with frames. Each has a unique frameset. Some of the pages have related material and are linked. Is there a way to have a page from Manual B called from manual A, which will cause Manual B's frameset to load? In other words, I do not want Manual B's page to load into the wrong frameset as the navigation information will be wrong.

I have an html frameset page called index.htm. I have a frame that points to ae.aspx, I've changed the frame to point now at default.aspx. Yet when I run in debug mode I'm still opening ae.aspx, but when I run directly from my localhost I get the right default.aspx. I'm assuming that VS 2005 is opening a cached version of my index.htm. 1) Where would the cache be?
