Script to check frames

spicysudhi · Aug 26, 2004

Hi

I have pages Index.htm, menu.htm and body.htm

here index.htm got the frame definitions. window splitted to 2 frames, and pages in them are menu.htm and body.htm

I want users to force to come thru the index.htm and prevent them from directly accessing body.htm. So I need a script in body.htm which checks whether page is in a frame or not. If not in frame, i want to reload with index.htm.

can someone please help me in writing this script. thanks in advance

regards,
sudhi

Make the body tag of "body.htm" like this:

Code:

<body onload="if(top.location.indexOf('/index.html')==-1) top.location='/index.html';">

Hope this helps,
Dan

My apologies - change "top.location.indexOf" to "top.location.href.indexOf".

I had assumed that JS would have executed the toString() method of the location object - but I guess it didn't!

Hope this helps,

If being able to print body.htm is important:
Check to be sure you can print body.htm in netscape.
I have found that Netscape will execute the redirect even when trying to print the page and as a result generate an error.

I had to put it in a doc.write statement like this:
function reloadF()
{
location.replace(index.html);
}
if (parent.frames.length == 0)
{
document.write("<\/HEAD>");
document.write('<BODY ONLOAD="reloadF();"');
document.write("<\/BODY><\/HTML>");
document.close();
}
