Current Target of an iframe

irate · Dec 16, 2003

I have a page with an iframe, and a button.
When you click the button I want it to capture the CURRENT location of the iframe.
If I use the iframe.src it will return the INITIAL location.
Does anyone know how I can get the current URL of the iframe.

Note: I have also tried

Code:

document.getwebpage.location.href

which gave me a permission denied error?

code:

Code:

<html>
 <head>
  <title>Target Page Selector</title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <center>
   <table width=&quot;100%&quot; height=&quot;100%&quot;>
    <tr>
     <td>Navigate to the page you want and click the select button</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
     <td align=&quot;center&quot;>
      <iframe width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;450&quot; src=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com/&quot;[/URL] name=&quot;getwebpage&quot; id=&quot;getwebpage&quot;></iframe>
    </td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
    <td align=&quot;center&quot;>
     <input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;select&quot; onclick=&quot;alert('url = ' + document.all.getwebpage.src)&quot;>
    </td>
   </tr>
  </table>
  </center>
 </body>
</html>

Just like you would with a regular frame or window... using the location.href property.

I don't think you can because the page is on a separate domain.

I found this:

So I found away to do it backwards, get the page I want to send its location to the parent frameset

but thanks anyways
