using javascript to detect frame source

I am trying to write a small script that will detect the url of a frame.
Here is my scenario.

I have two frames. "Top" contains a local file on my server with the
aforementioned javascript. "Bottom" is a remote website on a server I
do not control. I want to use javascript in "Top" to determine what the
current url is in the "bottom" frame.

How do I do this?

Thank you,

Marty Martin

Same Origin Policy will prevent you from retrieving the URL, unless you
either use signed script in Geckos, or enable the UniversalBrowserRead
privilege for a script loaded from a file: location in Geckos, or the
browser security settings are configured to "Access data sources across
domains" in MSIE, or the script is part of a HTML Application in MSIE,
or you are using an aquivalent feature of your user agent.

If you've worked around SOP, use `top.frames["Bottom"].location.href´.
