Frame Buster needed - not the commonly used one

[fishfinger]

One of my clients' (who I run a site for) business partner bought a 2nd domain for their business. The company who registered it are using cloaking and then framing MY site on theirs.

I know the

if (window!= top) top.location.href = location.href;

code will force my site to be re-loaded but that isn't a solution.

Is there a bit of code that will just stop them framing my page, so that people clicking the results in Google will get a blank page (as their site is completely empty)?

Look up .htaccess Its not a snippet of code you put on your pages,
its a file you upload to your host ISP right next to your index.html file.

Ban the offending site from calling ANY of your files. No pages, no images, nada.

They won't be blank, 403 forbidden messages maybe, but that might be even better.

Its tricky, great care is needed, but .htaccess works wonders. -Larry

.htaccess works wonders

Not if you're running IIS!

;)

Bernard: Fishfinger didn't say what OS his servers were running.

Microsoft claims their OS has similar capabilities to .htaccess, I can't verify that.
Personally, I won't use a host if they won't or can't impliment .htaccess. -Larry

Try this...

if (top.location.host.indexof('scumbag.com') >= 0) top.location.replace(self.location.href);

or, for added drama

if (top.location.host.indexof('scumbag.com') >= 0) top.location.replace('\scumbag.html');

thanks for the suggestions guys.

Kaled - I tried the code but i get a javascript 'Permission Denied' error in IE and no effect in Firefox.

I think we will look into the htaccess side of things - we use linux hosting

thanks again

Typo on my part ... indexOf (with capital).
If that doesn't work, replacing host with href should work.

Hi Kaled - I ended up using

<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin code
if (window!= top) top.location.href = 'disclaimer.htm';
// End code -->
</script>

it means that their site is now framing a page explaining that they are attempting to pass my content off as theirs with a link to my home page

thanks for your help - I posted in a few forums and this is one of only 2 where I got a quick and helpful reply.
