How can I get the URL of an IFrame

Redirected URL

[JulianD]

I am trying to dynamically get the URL of the page displayed in an iFrame.

This script works:

document.write('<input type="text" style="width:100%; " ');

document.write(' value="' + document.getElementById('myframe').src+ '">');

But the source URL is being redirected (on an external server) to another URL and I want to know what this other URL is. The above script just returns the source URL.

Try to read something like

document.frames['nameOfIframe'].location.href

But you'll probably run into cross-domain restrictions: JavaScript cannot read or write properties from pages on other domains.

function getremoteSrc(who){
//who is a reference to the iframe

if(who.contentWindow) d= who.contentWindow.document;
else if(frames[0]) d= frames[0].document;
return d.URL;
}
