How do I prevent others from iframing my content?

    I have a site whose content keeps getting iframed on a daily basis.

    Daily I change the content, daily other sites use my precious bandwidth though iframing the content.

    And its not even a 2KB image, its a download script through which people download 100s of MB's, I don't want him to take advantage of my bandwidth. :(

    Is there a technique from which I can stop him from stealing my content?

    Thanks,
    Karan

    The problem is that I myself am using an iFrame to display that page on one of my other pages and I can't possibly take do that ^^ because it will remove that file from my file too. :(

    Why not just alter the way you display the page on your other pages? Use a server side include.

    If your site using server side scripting like PHP just use the include function. Better than iframe.

    If I were to use the include function. The whole of the php file would be included resulting in the <html><head> etc tags to be included in the main page which would result in half of the page not showing up. :(

    How about removing the excess tags to avoid errors?

    Or just create a second version of the page for use with an include.

    bingo.

    OR, another option that may or may not solve the problem: deny visitors based on referrer. Here's a good article on the subject: http://www.htaccess-guide.com/index.php?a=7

    use a generic php session maybe? that way when there hot linking your iframe, if there not part of your web sites session, the page will point elsewhere?

    my 2 cents =P
