You aren't exactly clear what you need here. Can you post a URL where
this exists?

parent.location.href from page2.html will give you the URL of the main
page with the IFrame in it. That is assuming that they are from the same
domain.

Or, is it something else you are wanting to get?

When you are inside the iframe (page2), you can access the url from the parent window (page1) as
follows:

url = parent.window.location.href

Is this what you had in mind?

What really OP has in mind is (my best guess):

<http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.javascript/browse_frm/thread/edbd370312cb3273/cb5391d700302eda?hl=en#cb5391d700302eda>

Are we making content grabber and hiting to crossdomain security
restrictions?

(My deep apologies if I was wrong)
