[Javascript] Get URL and Title from page in another frame??

[Ciko, David]

Thanks, 

I see the permissions issue, doesn't look like I'll be able to get this done
then.

David,

It will only be possible to do this (without very special security
privileges which are unlikely to be practical) if the pages are from the
same domain and protocol. So not with third party pages from other
sites. So ... you say all the pages are from one site. Fine!

Imagine a two frame frameset with frames called nav and main.

Here we are in nav looking at the file in main:

> to retrieve the URL
var mainUrl=""+parent.main.location;

// note the ""+ which forces the resulting value to be a string, which
otherwise it is not which can cause errors when e.g examining it with
string methods such as indexOf()


> and Title of a page in another frame??
var mainTitle = parent.main.document.title;
