Detect wrong frame? Page loads in to incorrect frame can we redirect?

[JAB Creations]

I know we can detect if a page is in a frame...but can we detect that it's in the correct frame? How would that work?

with parentNode.name?

I played around with this problem a couple of years ago and gave up because I couldn't make it work reliably on all browsers (problems with infinite loops, etc.)

Having gained knowledge and experience, I would say it's probably not overly difficult but if you plan to reload into a new (correct) frameset, ensure that the method does not depend on frames/windows/documents being created or rendered in any particular order. I found Opera to be especially troublesome in this regard because its scheduling seemed totally random.

Frames have name="", they can also have id="" ... javascript can detect id so this is what has been running int he back of my head.

Also is there a way we can detect if the referer (frame file that the frame page was loaded from) is being loaded from the same domain name?

[SpaceFrog]

yes just split referrer url on a chosen word... and check elements of array ...

[JAB Creations]

Great! ... whats the code look like? O.o

[SpaceFrog]

this will entirely depend on what is the part of url you want to test, could you tell us a bit more?

Let's say www.example.com/frame.html is the correct frame. We know how to check IF there is a frame that files are being loaded in to but we don't know if it's being loaded from OUR domain not if it's being say loaded from www.example2.com.

domain=parent.top.location.href
tabdomain=domain.split('\/')
alert(tabdomain[2])
