Determining what is shown in an iframe

Question

I created a web browser type application using a textbox as an address bar and an iframe as a web content host. Upon entering an address in the textbox, the content in the iframe changes and is working properly. When the client clicks on a link in the iframe, the text in the address bar should change according to the content in the iframe - how can I do this?

For example: To begin with, www.microsoft.com is in the textbox and the corresponding page is in the iframe. If I click on a link such as products, the text box text should change to the page in the iframe.

you are telling that already the question having three answers,,,but one also not suits for my answer. this is not answer i am looking for ,i am looking to get status for iframe and to get that status to my addressbar..... document.getElementById("iframe_id").contentWindow.location.href — Rajasekharreddy Kadasani, Nov 01 '13 at 07:34

You can use the onload event on your iframe to know when url has been changed. Then read the src attribute and update your textbox.

Are you using iframe.src or iframe.getAttribute("src") ? – Sebastien C. Oct 08 '13 at 16:02
both i used, but when i inspect elemet also i am getting src as same what i have assigned first – Rajasekharreddy Kadasani Oct 09 '13 at 12:45
After a few search, there is no way to get the url when the iframe url is not from the same domain. For security reasons. You can only get the initial url set as html attribute. – Sebastien C. Oct 16 '13 at 10:37
so there is no solution for that problem guys..please give me any solution of other way.....Mr.sebcap26 – Rajasekharreddy Kadasani Oct 18 '13 at 05:08
