I need to get notified whenever a user clicks a link on a page in an iframe that is not from the same doamin. I'm aware of xss restrictions, however all i need to know is the current page being served in the Iframe. Is there a way to do this without violating xss rules?

A: 

If not for cross-site scripting restrictions this should work. Unfortunately I don't know of a way to get the URL without violating these restrictions.

<html>
    <head>
     <script type="text/javascript">
      function GetIFrameUrl()
      {
       alert('url = ' + document.frames['frame1'].location.href);
      }
     </script>
    </head>
    <body>
     <a href="#" onclick="GetIFrameUrl();">Find the iFrame URL</a>
     <iframe name="frame1" src="http://www.google.com" width="100%" height="400"></iframe>
    </body>
</html>

Yes, it does. I don't believe there is a way to do what you need without violating the rules.

To get the iframe location using jquery:

alert( $('iframeId').contents().get(0).location.href );
