JavaScript FrameBuster Snippet
Oftentimes you want to make sure your site isn't being IFRAME'd. Sometimes it's for security reasons, other times it's so your site's content isn't being skimmed else, and other times it's...oh, who cares, you just want to do it. Here's a short way to escape frames:
if (top.location != self.location) {
top.location = self.location.href;
}
Uglify this and you get 63 characters of gold. Simple, effective.

![Using Opacity to Show Focus with MooTools]()
I'm a huge fan of using subtle effects like link nudging (jQuery, MooTools) to enhance the user experience and increase the perceived dynamism of my websites. Trust me -- a lot of little things are what take websites to the next level.
Sorry bit of a jacascript noob here – this sounds great but how would one implement it? Where does it go?
Again apologies for what must sound a simple question.
Just toss it at the top of your javascript file :). Really anywhere in your JS this would work.
Just don’t put it inside a function unless that your intention. For example if for some reason you want to give your users a chance to make sure the page isn’t iframed by clicking a button then you put that code in a function say unIFrameMe() and then call that function when onclick the button.
In general, you’ll want this code to be outside of a function, so it is run when the js is loaded.
EMILIO!
But what about the Frame Buster Buster?

X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN# Block any site from applying an iframe.Apparently I didn’t use `pre` tags.
