force external page into iframe?

[jshanman]

If I try to put a site into an iframe that has "escape frame" code in
its source (posted below), it will reload the requested page into the
parent instead of the iframe. Is there a way to prevent this from
happening?

One could use onunload to stop the redirection, but I would like to
find a way to load a page into an iframe, even if it has this type of
code.

I have considered server code loading the content and re-displaying it
but I would like to find a pre javascript solution.

//this is not my code
if (self != top) {
if (document.images) {
top.location.replace(window.location.href);
} else {
top.location.href = window.location.href;
}
}

BTW: This is not with malicious intent...

No. Otherwise there wouldn't be a lot of point in the author having the
frame escape code.

Yes, you stop trying to Frame other peoples pages in your own page and
you don't have a problem anymore.

You think you can use onunload? Try again.

Go server code. Client side isn't going to happen.

Thats what I thought.

FYI: This actually isn't something that I would ever do for myself, a
freelance project was posted with this as one of the requirements. I
was fairly sure it was impossible (using only javascript/iFrames), but
now I'm 100% sure! Thanks!
