IFRAME

[Conax]

Hi,

I'm intending to use a IFRAME in one of my ASP page.

What I'd like to know is how to prevent user from directly accessing the
page that is the source of the IFRAME?

E.g.

Main page is main.asp

Inside main.asp..

<IFRAME src="data.asp">

If someone tried to enter ..mysite/data.asp in the browser's address bar, I
would like to redirect him back to main.asp

Thanks for your kind help.

use some Javascript in the target page to see where it was accessed from

or

set a session variable and check that in the target page

or

???

All of the above come with baggage but whichever way, I think the onus is on
the target page to check it has been accessed properly as it will be
difficult to conceal the target in the first page.

<script type="text/javascript">
if (parent.location.href == self.location.href) {
parent.location.href="main.asp";
}
</script>
