frame burst of images.google

there's this one i can't figure out.

I'm trying to kick out image.google.com's top frame when it goes to my
page.

If you go to
http://images.google.com/images?q=milk+tits
click on the page
http://xahlee.org/Periodic_dosage_di...caryatids.html
it should kick out the google's frame, but it isn't.

If i put a alert() in the script, it won't even popup. But i can't see
anywhere in google's html that has js or disables js.

however, it works in safari, but not in Mac Opera nor Mac Firefox nor
iCab. However, it all works if run from localhost with the frameset and
top frame from downloaded google.

any ideas?

Your code is (pretty-printed):

function f()
{
if (window.top.location.href != window.self.location.href)
{
window.top.location.href = window.self.location.href;
}
}
window.setTimeout(f,1000*3);

Following <URL:http://jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ4_43> would have told you that
it causes

Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property Location.href

You are attempting to read `window.top.location.href'. Since the domain
of the frameset document's URL is "images.google.com" and the domain of the
URL of the frame document that contains the accessing code is "xahlee.org",
the Same Origin Policy forbids that. Do not compare locations but compare
object references instead.

Your window.setTimeout() call is unreliable; if window.setTimeout(), a
host object's method, is not supported, your script breaks; if it takes
more then 3 seconds to load the frameset completely, your script breaks;
if Function object references are not supported as first argument of
window.setTimeout(), your script fails or breaks.

Either or both may be the reason why no further script code (e.g.
`alert(...)') is executed then. Furthermore, `window.self' is
referring to the same object as `window' does, so it is inefficient
to use the former.

Try this:

function isMethodType(s)
{
return (s == "function" || s == "object");
}

if (typeof window != "undefined"
&& isMethodType(typeof window.setTimeout)
&& isMethodType(typeof window.clearTimeout))
{
var f = function()
{
if (typeof window.top != "undefined")
{
if (window.top)
{
if (window != window.top)
{
window.top.location = window.location;
}
else
{
if (typeof f.timeout != "undefined")
{
window.clearTimeout(f.timeout);
}
}
}
else
{
f.timeout = window.setTimeout("f()", 3000);
}
}
};

f();
}

however, it works in safari, but not in Mac Opera nor Mac Firefox nor
iCab. However, it all works if run from localhost with the frameset and
top frame from downloaded google.

The domain (localhost) is the same then.

nice suggestions, but none are useful in this context.

this is quite puzzling. Because after tried many things to diagnose the
problem, it might be that google has implemented some mechanism so as
to disable kicking out their frames. Because, when i tweaked the
script with some variation, clicking on the google image will result in
my page being completely blank below the google's panel frame, as if my
page tried to refresh and got botched. Or, some variation results both
google's top frame being blank as well as my page... but it works in
Safari and i couldn't locate any <script> in google's sources.

if i put a alert() in my page, it may or may not act depending on the
script variation i'm using.

Here's a variation that should just work:
<script type="text/javascript" defer>
if ( window.top != window.self) {window.top.location.href =
window.self.location.href;}
</script>

i've tried combinations of using “defer”, setTimeout,... itmay be
hard to test because it works locally. You'll need to find a search
string in google images so that it hits your page.
