Different Page URL based if loaded in Iframe rather than regular document

[andyjimmy]

Hi All,

The title of my question does seems rather ambiguous, but please allow me to explain. What i'm looking to impliment is this, I want http://mydomain.com/artist/artist_name.html to load in two different ways depending on how they are loaded.

For example if you put http://mydomain.com/artist/artist_name.html into your browser address thingo it loads up the page complete with page headers, the information about the artist and the page footer, just like a normal website.

--BUT--

If its loaded in an iframe it only displays the artist info.

I hope that makes sense. So what i'm after is something in the artist_name.html that recognises the iframe that it has been loaded in. Does anyone know if this is even possible, can anyone point me/ provide me with some code etc that would give the desired result.

Kind Regards and thanks in advance!!

Well this could be done with php rather easily. I am not so sure about javascript.

Here is an example.

[code=php:0]
$referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
if ($referer !== 'http://www.yoursite.com/yourframedpage.html') {
  header('Location: http://www.yoursite.com/yourframedpage.html');
}
[/code]

Good Luck,
Tom

Thanks Tom,

A very simple solution, thankyou, i hadn't even thought of using php to fulfil this need, but serverside is definately a better solution!

Your welcome..

There is a way to reference the referer with javascript.

that is
[code=php:0]
document.referer
[/code]

However, server side would be the best method.
