can you get the URL being navigated to (inside a frame)

[jojoba]

Hi all,

Im running ie7.
I've got a page with an iframe in it.
The iframe starts at any real url.
When the user navigates that frame elsewhere (via click, form entry,
whatever) i would like to check the new url before letting the frame
completely load that new url.
I can tell when the frame is loading (using readyState), or by using
frame.document.onunload, but i still dont know how to get that pesky
url-being-navigated to, once i'm in that intermediate "loading" state.
(Hell, i even tried checking the status bar too!)

Any ideas,
thanks to all

As with many things in Javascript, this runs into a security wall. To
avoid pages tracking your clicks in an unfriendly manner, the major
browsers have taken away the ability to catch those URL's that a frame
navigates to. Older browsers you can get around this with use of the
frame.history or frame.location objects inconsistently, but to do this
consistently, you need to have the iframe load a filtering page you
control that reads and parses everything, changing all links to pass
through itself as well.

You might be able to use onpropertychange event for the src attribute.
(see msdn)

I have never tried this, so maybe someone else can comment on that.
Seems like it would work.

frame.document.onunload, but i still dont know how to get that pesky

If it's all on the same domain, you can probably use on onbeforeunload
for the iframe's contentWindow. (see msdn)
