Detecting framesets on the client side

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 01.2004

I’ve got a server that has no server side processing available (and I can’t add any support for it).

I have an HTML file that is normally suppose to load in an inline frame (please no replies on why I shouldn’t use iframes). I want to be able to detect if this frame is loaded within my frameset, and if it isn’t provide a link that would load the frameset around it.

First, can this be done w/o ANY server processing?
Secondly how could I do this?!?

Thanks in advance!!

@AdamGundryFeb 01.2004 — You could probably do something like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
if (self==top){
location = 'frameset.html';
}
</script>Adam

P.S. Make sure your site is still accessible to users with JS disabled.

@ilbonparaurtiauthorFeb 01.2004 — This would forward the entire window contents to frameset.html. What I want to do is wrap a frameset that exists in another page around the current contents. I would use this script on multiple pages and do not wish to have an individual 'frameset' page for each and every document.

I doubt that this is possible to do but if anyone has any ideas on how this could be done I'd love to hear 'em.

I tried doing this w/ CSS but can't as I cannot mix the units of 'px' and '%'.

Success!
