Is it possible to neutralize a top.location.replace ? 1

[Newcomsas]

Hello,

I have got a rather nasty problem with framesets and JS.
I am trying to include into a frame of an HTML page the content of an external site (let's say:

http://www.examplesite.com).

The pages of the external site contain anyway a JS code that automatically put their content in the top position; the code looks like this:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
if (top != self) { top.location.replace('

http://www.examplesite.com');

}
</script>

Is it possible, in your opinion, to 'neutralize' this behaviour, placing a suitable code on my HTML (frameset) page ?
I thank you in advance for any help.

Stop using frames, maybe?


To answer your intended question - no.

You could try putting this code in your very top level page:

top.location.replace = function() { return false; };

Not sure if it'll work or not, but give it a whirl anyway.

Or, using server-side scripting, you could scrape the other page, remove that code, and rewrite it on your page. You run the risk of copyright infringement doing that kind of thing, though.

BillyRayPreachersSon, I thank you, the code you posted actually works fine on IE; unfortunely it seems to be ignored by Firefox.
Is there in your knowledge a way to fix this problem ? Thanks.

It's probably the case then that Firefox has some security in place to stop you from overriding this method.

Perhaps some sort of signed script might work? I'd search around on Google (or ask on here) for how to get elevated script rights in Fx... it's not something I've any experience with, though.
