The online community has always been governed by the idea that "each server is a castle, and each system operator the master of their domain." What you want for your server (and for your website) is what the rest of world has to deal with. You can require people to pay to read your content. You can delete your website tommorrow. You can stick a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the CD-ROM drive. You can also stop people from framing your site.

It's your server, and you make the rules. If you don't want people framing your website, then just stop them. If you are renting server space from someone else (like an Internet Service Provider), you might not be able to do the peanut butter and jelly thing, but no ISP is going to make you let other people frame your website, either.

This was exactly how we handled a "someone is framing our site" situation about a year ago (when a certain web promotion company began to frame our Rank This! site). We just added a little JavaScript to prevent it. We didn't even bother to tell the offending framer what we did, so they kept linking -- and we kept getting traffic from the link.

The solution is built right into the very browsers that are displaying the frames, and all it takes is a simple little JavaScript routine to make those frames disappear.
