Inline Frames

[Guest]

Pages that I create to use specifically in inline frames within other pages
are coming up in search engine results. How do I redirect the user to the
intended (full) page?

You've just run into the biggest problem with using Frames and inline
frames. Your best bet is to either a) avoid using frames or inline frames
completely, b) add meta information that tells the search engines not to
index the page ( add the <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"> to
the document header) or c) add a javascript to each and ever page thaqt
checks to see if the current frame position is top, and if not to redirect
to another page (such as the page that normally contains the inline frame).
I'm sorry to say that I don't have a script handy, though there should be
one available in the some of the javascript repositories.

Hope this helps,
