is there way to keep a page inside a frame if it has a code that breaks the frame?

Sure, you can put in an include statement in the head of your page that references another page (we'll call 'checkforframes.aspx') and passes the name of the page via querystring. The page 'checkforframes.aspx' can check to see if it is the top frame using javascript "if (top == self)". If the page is the top frame, then pass the name of the page from querystring to your frames.aspx page using querystring again so that it is embedded into a frameset. If 'checkforframes.aspx' determines that your page is not the top frame, then it returns silently back to your application.

This example uses ASP.NET, you will need the MS .NET framework.

Locally viewing http://localhost/frames.aspx will show the framed content1.aspx. If you view http://localhost/content1.aspx it will automatically frame itself. You can substitute content1.aspx for any page as long as it has the include statement.

CheckIfInFrames.inc

Code:

<%  Dim strDefpath,strFinal as string
  strDefpath = Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")
  If Left$(strDefpath, 1) = "/" Then strDefpath = Right$(strDefpath, Len(strDefpath) - 1)
  strFinal = "http://localhost/frames.aspx?target=" & strDefpath
%>

<html>
<head></head>
<body onload="redirect('<%=strFinal%>');"></body>

<script type="text/javascript">

function redirect(strFinal){
   if (top == self){
      window.location=strFinal;
   }
}

</script> 
</html>

frames.aspx

Code:

<%@ Page Language="VB"%>
<script runat="server">

'Globals
Dim strTarget as String
' =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Sub Page_Load

  strTarget = Request.QueryString("target")
  if strTarget="" then strTarget="content1.aspx"

End Sub
' =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

</script>
<html>

<head>
<title>Frames Page</title>
</head>

<frameset cols="250,*">
  <frame name="contents" target="main" src="Menu.aspx">
  <frame name="main" src="<%=strTarget%>">
  <noframes>
  <body>

  <p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>

  </body>
  </noframes>
</frameset>
</html>

Menu.aspx

Code:

<%@ Page Language="VB"%>

<script runat="server">
  Sub Page_Load
  End Sub
</script>
<html>
     <head><title>Menu Page</title>
          
          <style type="text/css">
               BODY   {font-family:arial;font-size: 9pt;}
          </style>
          
     </head>
<body>          
    Menu Page
</body>
</html>

content1.aspx

Code:

<%@ Page Language="VB"%>

<script runat="server">
   Sub Page_Load
   End Sub
</script>
<html>
     <head><title>Title Of Page</title>

     <!--#include file="CheckIfInFrames.inc"-->
          
          <style type="text/css">
               BODY   {font-family:arial;font-size: 9pt;}
          </style>
          
     </head>
<body>          
    Content1 Page
</body>
</html>
