This thread shows how to open external sites in a new window and provide a “return to site” link which would call the windows.close() function. The problem is, that I don’t know how to do such a “top bar” or something else containing the link on the site I open. Should I open the external site and write to its source? I know that for example sites providing proxies use such top structures. But how do they do it?

    There are a few options here… these are the top two suggestions I have.

    Option 1, a kind of frame

    You essentially load up a page that contains your header, and a big iframe that contains the other site. This is really easy to do, but if they have a “framebuster” script, it might get rid of your header when the page loads.

    Option 2, server side proxy

    Another option would be to get their HTML using a server side language, and modify it to include your top bar… it’s a lot more work, but it will prevent framebusters from breaking out of your top bar.
