Get current URL from IFRAME

by

For security reasons, you can only get the url for as long as the contents of the iframe, and the referencing javascript, are served from the same domain. As long as that is true, something like this will work:

document.getElementById("iframe_id").contentWindow.location.href

If the two domains are mismatched, you’ll run into cross site reference scripting security restrictions.
