Recently another site "hijacked" our forum by framing it in a frameset with only one frame, src=our forum url. I added a bit of javascript to break out of the frame:

<Script Language="JavaScript">
<!--
setTimeout ("changePage()", 0);
function changePage() {
if (self.parent.frames.length != 0)
self.parent.location= "index.php";
}
// -->
</script>

This should only check to see if the page is in a frame, and if so, break out to the self parent location. And it worked. However, several users started to complain about odd forum behavior, getting bounced back to the homepage, etc. So really two questions:

1) Is there a better way to prevent another site from framing the forum?

2) Why would this javascript cause problems if you're NOT browsing the forum in a frameset?

Thanks!

Ideally this should be inside an onLoad() event of the body tag. Inside it you should put something along the lines of:
if(parent.location.href!=location.href) top.location.href=location.href;

Thanks, Ilia. That's what I was trying for. I'll give it another go.
