HERE IS THE PROBLEM
I want the parent window to know when the IFRAME reloads so that I can get and use the URL of the new page in the IFRAME for functions in the parent page. How do you ‘listen’ for that? is the a frame.onchange event?

ps – i know! Frames are aweful but i need this temporarily – thanks!

@ricpApr 25.2007 — You can set a simple onload event on the iframe, the only problem being you can't pick up the url if it's on another domain.

<iframe .. onload="alert(this.contentWindow.location.href)" .. >

@gklandesauthorApr 26.2007 — Thanks! Sadly the problem you noted kills what I was trying to achieve. I'm trying to create a "link to this page" for users to copy that will link to the base page and include in the query string the URL of the page to load in the window. Otherwise, no matter the content in the frame, the URL in the address bar is always the same.

Success!
