Counteract a javascript redirect?

Question

I am loading an external page in an iFrame that redirects after a counter. I want to disable the redirect.I used firebug to locate the redirect.

if(!counter)
  self.iframe.src=self.vars["someurl"];

So how do I stop this redirect from happening?

Thank you, Todd

Answer 1

You can't control JavaScript that comes from a different domain (which is what I am assuming you are doing, when saying "external page").

If you think a bit about browser security, you will understand why.

See Same Origin on wikipedia for details.

Answer 2

Maybe counter = -1?

I mean, typing counter = -1 in Firebug before the counter goes to zero.
