Hi,
I need to access the Parent Domain URL from
my Iframe which is in another domain.
For example:
example.com is my website which is in Iframe
of another parent(google.com) domain. Here i need to
access the parent domain URL in my example.com.
i.e I need to get the URL google.com in my example.com.
Parent domain cannot be hard coded.
I tried with the following code window.parent.location.href()
this results in Access denied error. How to achieve this..?
What you are trying to do is impossible for a very good security reason.
Your question is like asking "How can I login as root into this server if I do not know the password?" The only way is: a). Breaching security. b). Being given additional priveledges by the user. (browser specific)
Hi,
You might want to take a look at these questions/answers ; they could give you some informations concerning your problem :
<iframe> javascript access parent DOM across domains?To make things short : accessing iframe from another domain is not possible, for security reasons -- which explains the error message you are getting.
The Same origin policy page on wikipedia brings some informations about that security measure :
In a nutshell, the policy permits scripts running on pages originating from the same site to access each other's methods and properties with no specific restrictions — but prevents access to most methods and properties across pages on different sites.
A strict separation between content provided by unrelated sites must be maintained on client side to prevent the loss of data confidentiality or integrity.
This is not possible.
top.location.href
Will work only if they are in the same domain.

You can try and check for the referer, which should be the parent site if you're an iframe
