How to get the URL of the second frame?

[Anon]

I've got two frames, one top and on bottom. Now, the top-frame needs to know the URL that the bottom-frame is visiting att the moment.

Suggestions?

Let's say the frame you want to know the url of is called "viewframe" (specified like <frame src="myframe.html" name="viewframe">).

For another frame to access it's location:

<script language=Javascript>
theOtherFramesLocation = window.parent.viewframe.document.location;
// Test it
alert(theOtherFramesLocation);
</script>
