    How would I go about diplaying/getting the URL of a frame from another frame.

    All I want to do really is, while in 1 frame get the URL of another frame with javascript so I can use the data in php a script

    Thanks

  var framURL= frameName.src;

    Yes it is a frame. The Frame's name is "mainFrame" So What I need to do is from the top frame, get the URL of mainFrame and store it in a variable for later use. Could you give me an example of how I would implement your code example in a script? I really am a javascript noob.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    This is what I have so far but doesn't work. Any ideas?


    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function geturl() {
        var mainurl = mainFrame.src;
 document.write (mainurl);
}
</script>



<a href="javascript:geturl();" target="_blank">Report</a>
