Framebuster... buster?

[U. Cortez - Research]

I would like to find a way to get around framebusters. If you're
unfamiliar with a framebuster, its code looks something like:

if (location != top.location ) {
top.location = location;
}

and their purpose is to redirect to the page so that any frames that
might exist dissappear.

I want to have a frame that always remains there even if the other
frame in the window goes to a site with the framebuster script. Any
workarounds or ways to circumvent it?

Thanks.

U.

I suppose you mean this?

if (top.location!='http://mysite.com/myFramesetpage.html')
top.location='http://mysite.com/myFramesetpage.html'

Fortunately you cannot make other people provide you with
content for your site if they want to prevent it.

I suppose the idea of NOT STEALING has never crossed your mind.

You can't. Stop trying to put other people's content into your frames
against their express wishes (for that matter, don't try to do it unless
you have express permission).

First, I'm not trying to steal content. The intent is for personal use
so I can just have a personalized frame on the top of any of my
browsing windows.

Technically, the framebuster can itself be "busted" simply by disabling
javascript. But unfortunately, I want to keep javascript enabled for
my browser (as my personalized frame itself will contain some js).

If it's only for yourself, there is a way *if* you use IE.

An HTML application gives extra power to the web page, and constrains
embedded pages from knowing that they are so. Quote:
---
HTAs are designed such that untrusted HTML frames and iframes have
no script access to the HTA containing them. In the case of frames
that are not HTA-enabled, the highest level frame comprises the top
window for all frames it contains. For that frame, window.top and
window.self are one and the same. In addition, unsafe frames and
iframes receive neither a referrer nor an opener URL from the parent
HTA. The end result is that they are unaware of the containing HTA
as the parent window.

If you don't use IE (I wouldn't :), I don't know a way (but then I would
just make a sidebar with the functionality I want).

A lot of framed sites assume they are in their own frames and address their
frames as top.framename. You'll break any of that if you manage to get around
it.

Although IMNSHO, frames need to be buried a long awaited death anyways. ;)

God, guys, chill out. Don't be jerks just because your minds cant envision
an application of the question other than the conclusions you immediately
jump to.

To answer the original question... I've not found a satisfactory way to do
this (which is absurd, really).
Rather, consider using a custom toolbar, or custom context menus in your
browser, depending on what it supports. You can do whatever you want with
those, and that might cover your needs.

Use Mozilla, install the Prefs Bar, disable JS, navigate, re-enable it
on the fly.

Or as Lasse posted, use an .hta in IE
