Getting the iframe's URL parameter from within the iframe

I have an iframe that is loaded on web page and I do not have permissions to access the parent page. I have access to the iframe's code. I would like to access one of the parameters of this iframe. What is the best way to achieve this?
I tried location.search but it does not give me all the parameters.
Any suggestions?
Cheers.

I managed to find the answer myself and we can retrieve the iframe's URL using the following code:
document.location.href
This seems to work fine without any issues.

Linking to the end of another page in which i have no access to the source of

The website i'm trying to link to is pretty much a text document (see below), i'm trying to link to the last line preferable, highlighting it would be ideal but a link to the end of the page would work.
I've tried various code snippets, but as i have no access to the code of the page i cannot create anchor in the target page and link directly to that.
if i can get the following code to run on the page once i have navigated to it, i believe that would solve the problem, but my JS knowledge does not extend that far
window.onload=toBottom;
function toBottom()
{
alert("Scrolling to bottom ...");
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
}
i am linking using the following code
`— Alan Turing `
http://www.loebner.net/Prizef/TuringArticle.html

I would deeplink and find an ID on the remote page and link directly to that so for example
www.loebner.net/Prizef/TuringArticle.html#ELEMENTID
However if the page does not have an element at the bottom with an ID then might be a problem, do you have access to that page to add an ID?

Cleanest solution was contacting the site administrator of the site and setting up a mirror on my server of the original file and adding an #ID to the element i wanted to deeplink to and linking to the #ID from within my webpage
href="<c:url value="loebner#ID"/>"

jQuery Copy text inside iframe to main document?

Hopefully someone here can help me with this challenge!
I have a parent page which is the checkout page for an e-commerce site. It's run on zencart and for every order placed a table row is generated through ZenCart. I've setup an EACH function which generates an iframe for an artwork uploader for each TR (order) found. The uploader works and the correct number of instances are being generated.
I wanted to avoid an iFrame, but the uploader script I purchased will not permit me to load it directly into the zencart page template, or via AJAX (tried both). There's some kind of major resource/path situation going on when doing it this way... so I've resorted to iframes.
I'm able to call JS on file-upload-complete. At that point I'm trying to capture the name of the filename that was just uploaded and place it inside the TR. The problem I'm running into are permission error when trying to access the iframe contents.
I've tried everything I've come across on this site and many others, so believe it isn't a problem with the selectors/frame selection... Firebug is telling me that I'm getting permission errors when trying to access the iframe, yet they're both on the same domain and the src is being set by a relative path....
I'm completely lost, any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

when you want to access main window or window.document from inside an iframe you should change the context by using window.parent
For example when you want to append some text to a div, you should do something like this
window.parent.$.('#theDiv').text('the text');
There is a bug in IE when you run the code from inside the iframe and remove the iframe in between. IE can't run the code in the fly

How to make javascript link target to my iframe?

I have a iframe and there is a javascript function in it. Basically, I want to create an anchor tag to call the function and activate it in my iframe. Do you have any idea?
<p>Edit Google</p>
<iframe name="test" src="http://www.google.com"></iframe>
It is not working. Any idea?

I was searching around trying to find an answer, but I think it's easier if I just give you a link to this site that I found: http://www.dyn-web.com/tutorials/iframes/refs.php

You can't do that for obvious security reasons: one website can't and should never be able to control anything in other website.
If both pages are in the same domain there is a way, but different domains? Nope.
Instead of showing iframe you can try loading the external site with AJAX, parse the result and show your own form.

Get title string from url within iframe using jQuery?

I wonder if it is possible to get the page title of an url within IFRAME. I tried to use jQuery $('#iframe').attr('title') but that doesn't work. Please help. Thanks.

I think this is what you're looking for:
$(document).ready(function()
{
alert($('#iframe').contents().find("title").text());
});
That will return the page title that is located in the <title> tag of the iframe document that has the id "iframe".

I misread your question.
$('title', frames[frameName].document).text();

If what you are looking for is a way to get the URL of the iframe after the user has clicked on a link within that iframe, this is not possible in any modern browser that blocks cross-domain attempts.
Even though the iframe is part of the DOM and you can easily find the new iframe URL using apps like Firebug, Firefox will throw a XSS error on any attempts by js to directly pull that info.
But for the record, as it's already been said, the location within the DOM of the actual URL of the iframe content is (with a little help from jquery) : $("#id_of_iframe).contentDocument.location.href
I'm not totally sure if the above points straight to it with the above syntax, but that's the gist of it. The part that is a no-no is trying to go inside that contentDocument part.
