Hi,
I'm a software developer at an educational organization, and we have implemented a double-click lookup as well as right-click lookup for over 5 years now.
(we give the user the choice of 3 options on right-click: TFD, Peedy, and Wikipedia).
The implementation loads the TFD content (or from other sources) into an iframe, so the student will not get away from the current curriculum page.
Recently we started getting feedback the when using the TFD option, the content will take over the main page rather than displaying in the frame. I checked with the other two options, and they are still working the same old way.
Have you stepped supporting loading content into an iframe.

I can send you a direct email with login info to the website to see what i mean, if you wish.

Thank you,
Hatim

I did some research on this issue and I guess what's called is frame busting, not to allow other's content to be displayed in an iframe, so the content's provider will close the frame and display the content back on parent window.
I also found frame busting buster, i.e. to get over the busting by adding some code to override that. It worked in IE but not in Chrome.

But it's lie cat and mouse game here, where for every busting code, someone will have a buster code to override it, and so no. :(

Thanks,

Maybe an alternate way:

Code:
<!--#include virtual="tfd.php" -->


.. in a table, or wherever & forget about iFrames altogether. :)

PS.
For this to work, you'll probably need to append .htaccess:

Code:
AddHandler server-parsed .htm
AddHandler server-parsed .html

PPS.
Just Googled it @

I have recieved a feedback from TFD that they have fixed the issue, and I was able to load TFD content back into the frame without any issue.

Thanks TFD,
