Run javascript code except it is inside a modal dialog

Want to run some javascript code everywhere, but not in a modal dialog. Because errors are occured, or this code is unnecessary i dialogs. Well here is a solution I have found after some experiments:

$(document).ready(function() {
  if (!window.location.href.match(/isdlg=1/i)) {
    onDocumentReadyExceptItIsInDialog();
  }
});

function onDocumentReadyExceptItIsInDialog() {}
```This code checks with Regular Expressions if the url of the parent window contains IsDlg=1, if so nothing happens. In the usual case (not inside a dialog), the javascript code runs. EDIT: after I wrote this I actually found that this is the way SharePoint itself does: [![](https://sharepointkunskap.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/isdlg.png "isdlg")](https://sharepointkunskap.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/isdlg.png) So now I update the previous function to this:

$(document).ready(function() { if (window.location.search.match(/[?&]isdlg=1/i)) { return; } onDocumentReadyExceptItIsInDialog(); });

function onDocumentReadyExceptItIsInDialog() {}

isInIFrame = (window.location != window.parent.location) ? true : false;
