Get the URL of the webpage displayed in an

Question

I have div which contains an HTML object

<div id="webPage">
  <object type="text/html" id="webUrl" data="http://www.pageweb.com" style="overflow:auto"></object>
</div>

In this div the user has the ability to navigate to the http://www.pageweb.com site. I would like to retrieve the exact URL where the user is, for example: http://www.pageweb.com/fr/index.php?page=cadre&option=5. I am unable to find the properties of this object, or its child, in order to retrieve this URL.

When I right click the object in Chrome and click "Display the source code of the frame", it displays the content the URL that I need.

Something like this should help : https://stackoverflow.com/q/938180/9387017 — CaffeinatedCod3r, Aug 19 '20 at 16:04

Might be missing something - but surly you just want the data property of the object.

var element = document.getElementById('webUrl');

console.log(element.data);

<div id="webPage">
    <object type="text/html" id="webUrl" data="http://www.pageweb.com" style="overflow:auto">
    </object>
</div>

I think the OP wants to know the page the user is on as the navigate, not just the page that's initially loaded. Could be wrong, the question is lacking a lot of useful detail/ – Rory McCrossan Aug 19 '20 at 15:54
