A:
For security reasons, you can't get the URL if the user has navigated the iframe away from the initial page and the iframe contents aren't within the same domain with the parent page. Within the same domain, you can get the URL with something like
document.getElementById("iframe_id").contentWindow.location.href

There is no winning answer in the question I linked... if you mean the topmost answer, it isn't really a working solution. With IE, you could try the HTA approach provided also in the answers to the aforementioned question.
