How to Break Out of HTML Frames
By Dewald Pretorius | September 22, 2007
The Problem
It happens frequently that other sites include your web site in a frame. Think of when someone clicks through from an image search on Google, or a translation of your site on Google or BabelFish.
Other web sites could frame your site with more sinister intentions, such as using your content to lend an air of credibility to their spam (or even illegal stuff) that they include around the frame that contains your site.
No site has a real pressing and legitimate reason to frame another site.
The Solution
It’s really easy to prevent your site from being framed by another site.
In the HTML ‘<head></head>’ section, insert the following Javascript code. If someone tries to include your site in a frame, the code will automatically break out of the frame and open your site in the browser window, free of the frame.
<!–
if (parent.frames.length > 0) parent.location.href = location.href;
–>
</script>
If you’re running a WordPress blog, the easiest solution is to download and install this WordPress plugin.
