Google Images Frame Breaker 1
May13
While definitely not considered a best practice, and it is definitely looked at as not the whitest of hat by some, the technique of breaking out of the Google Images “frame” (modal window over your website showing just the image) and showing the entire content of your website is becoming more and more popular. I’m going to say it’s OK, since both Facebook and Google employ this technique.
If you find yourself with the need to implement a frame breaker (which does work on “frames” from other websites, such as HootSuite and Digg) it’s fairly simple, you just need to add the following JavaScript code to your <head> tag:
<script type='text/javascript'>if (window != top) top.location = self.location</script>
Nice. You could, conversely, argue that Google's use of frames to effectively "own" your image content is not exactly best practice… so show them no mercy.
