Break Out Of Frames - FF

edited October 2006 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
Does anyone have a sure fire way to break out of frames?

I have a standard JavaScript that's served me well for years but it appears that Firefox (on Mac OS X at least) ignores it.

I have an enhanced (.m4a) podcast playing in an iFrame on my forum which works a treat, however when you click a link, it opens inside the small 230x220 pixel iFrame, not a good look.

In Safari and Exploder, the link opens inside the iFrame for a second then breaks out to the full page as the JavaScript says to.

Anyone have a clue for me?

    Do you mean something like this?
  • WandererWanderer
    Hey cutout, could you be a little more specific?
    I see nothing there about breaking out of frames. :-(

    Sorry, I think I misread your question.

    Hi!

    There is a closing brackett missing, after ">=1".

    <script language="JavaScript"> if(parent.frames.length>=1) { window.top.location.href="index.html" } </script>

    Bye

    Yes thanks Tiggr that just went west in the cut and paste somehow, it still does not work with Firefox.

    Hi again

    I'm using this on my sites:

    <script type="text/javascript"> if (top.frames.length != 0) top.location= self.document.location; </script>

    Seems to work in all browsers...

    Bye

    you can also try
    if(location != top.location) top.location.href = location.href;

    Thanks itchy but your script does not work in Firefox on OS X.

    Tiggr I found a variation on your suggestion, seems to work on all browsers I have tested...

    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> if (parent.frames.length > 0) { parent.location.href = self.document.location; } </script>

    parent.frames or top.frames ?

    Thanks all.
