Escaping from frames ... You probably have seen this before, lazy people and/or "control freaks" that keep external pages where they link to, hooked into their own frames. JAVAScript can help your page to automatically escape those frames! So, how can I leave frames ?

Using Links

Regular links can escape from frames by using a target value "_top", for example:

<A HREF="http://www.somewhere.com/" target="_top">Escape those frames!</A>

Automatically

Use this little script to do so:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
setTimeout ("changePage()", 1000);
function changePage() {
if (self.parent.frames.length != 0)
self.parent.location="http://www.somewhere.com";
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>

This script works only if you have no frames on original your webpage! It escapes to http://www.somewhere.com.

Note: If your browser generates a nice JavaScript error: your browser does not support this feature!
