Check if page is loaded in IFrame

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I was working on a page and wanted to make sure that this page is not opened in an iframe.
Here is some piece of javascript code which helps you to detect this.

var inFrame= (window.location != window.parent.location) ? true : false;

If inFrame is true you can redirect user or throw some alert.

Share and Enjoy:

nice
but you can also use a better method
window.parent returns the immediate parent window.

so if you have an iframe inside another iframe this will not work.

so instead of window.parent.location use window.top.location

window.top returns the topmost parent
