If a web app has code to try and break out of an iframe, it will be difficult to test in Selenium.

  A few months ago, we were testing a login page that had been fortified against robots. It uses code like this:
/pre(
if (top.location != self.location)
{
  top.location = self.location.href;
}
/pre)

This breaks
/link http://openqa.org Selenium
that loads the web app being tested in an IFRAME.

What do you do? Just try to get as much done in
/link http://jsunit.net JsUnit
tests as you can.
