Javascript Parent / Child Object Reference –

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 04.2007

Is there anyway to programatically retrieve the location.href from the child window? The child window is not on the same domain and is not edited by me.

I know how to display the current window (parent) location.href but I don’t think it is possible to display the child location.href? Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks!

I am tring to compare a stored WindowObjectReference to the current location and target of the child window to see if the user navigated away from the original link.
