frame breaker breaker? is there such a thing?

[httpwebwitch]

I'm loading a page in an iframe. it's someone else's site, and it's all legit.

but in that frame, they've got some JavaScript that redirects the page... and it's obviously using "top.window.location=..."; it takes over the entire page.

it's breaking out of my iframe!

I really want that stuff to stay in its iframe where I put it. I think breaking out and hijacking my page is actually pretty rude.

Is there a way to stymie their framebreaker? perhaps when they call "top.window.location", it loads inside my iframe? Can I define that iframe as the "top"? ha ha

I'd really like to stay with the iframe, not open a popup window, for reasons too banal to explain

As far as I know, there is no way to interfere with the javascript running in a page loaded in a frame from a different domain.

Since it's legit, the easy thing to do is just ask the other site owner to remove their frame breaking code.

Just as site owners think messing up their design by cramming their page into a frame on your site could be considered rude. :-)

If it's legit, they won't mind you asking. But no, short of disabling JS, don't think it can be done (Let the Javascript wars begin!)

However, what you could do, since I know you can server-side code, is use a cURL method to get the page and display that in your iFrame . . . but now you're scraping. <sigh>

the other site owner is Mark Zuckerberg, the 23 year old billionaire. :)

Could you use an onunload handler on your page to reload your page with his redirect?
