finding a _parent's domain name address via an iframe

[ralphonzo]

a bit convaluted this one, sorry!

i'm embedding an asp page with form into different web pages via an iframe. these pages may be asp, php, htm, etc, which is why i'm keeping the asp seperate. to make the app work, i need to find the domain name address of each _parent page to send as a hidden field from the iframe page. the ip address isn't much use as i need to redirect to the precise page once the server work is complete.

does anyone know if there's any way to get this info?

ok, bit dumb really. i can grab the address in the receiving page via javascript document.referrer and then use that to fire back.

is there another way?? just as a matter of interest.

ralp, javascript is the only way to do this. serverside scripting will not be able to read the url of the parent.
