Is Framebreaker Javascript safe to use?

[Oxydada]

Hi!
I've found my site kinda hijacked under another site frames. I was considering using a framebuster or framebreaker javascript code.
I was wondering, is this a safe option? Will Google penalize my site for doing it?

And I mean penalize my site from normal search results - I really don't care about images.

Thanks in advance for your help :)

I've used framebusting code on several sites for years now without noticing any ill effects.

Now it's the second time that I receive an outrageous email.

Somebody feels cought on the site, the back button does not work.

This effect is caused by Google picture search.
The page from where the picture is, is loaded into a FRAME.

But now works the frame breaker javascript code.

Trying to go with the back button back to the Google picture result page ends with own page in FRAME, frame breaker code starts to work again.

User thinks the back button is locked.

You can use the replace() method for your framebreaker code. That will preserve the back button's function - something along these lines:

if (top!= self) top.location.replace(self.location.href);

I like the use of a confirm box (see http://www.w3schools.com/JS/js_popup.asp [w3schools.com]) with an if/else that allows the visitor to:

select OK and be redirected to the 'original' site

select CANCEL and stay where they are

tedster,

I am no javascripter. How would one permit framimg by certain sites while still breaking out of all other sites?

I.e., I see visits by a foreign search/translation site which frames my web pages, but the outside frame consists of only instructions (in the foreign language) on how to use the features of the translation services.

That framing I'm ok with. But, right now I'm breaking out of that frame because I'm frame breaking to disallow several other sites from wrapping my content in with their "advertising-rich" web sites.

Thanks,
Jonesy

I think you're going to have to get into cloaking to do this.

Have a 'safe list' of bots that you show your pages to without the frame-busting script.

Everyone else gets the standard pages with the script.
