JS to escape frames (was Homework Central)

[Paul Corr]

Roy, et. al,

I've used this:

The following JS snippet, placed in a page, will force a new window 
if someone has placed your page within a frame on their site:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
if(window.self != window.top)
	open("http://www.yoururl.com/", "_top");
// -->
</SCRIPT>
