Getting the URL from the address bar

I have an iframe on mynewwebsite.com showing content from mywebsite.com

alert(window.location.hostname);

always shows mywebsite.com, is there any way I could get the URL from the user's address bar without modifying anything on mynewwebsite.com?

I want to check the domain and load stylesheets accordingly.

Maybe this will help:

alert(window.parent.location.hostname);
alert(window.top.location.hostname);

It works in Chrome like a charm.

Try something like this

var url = (window.location != window.parent.location) ? document.referrer: document.location;

Try 

var myIframe = document.getElementById('yourIframeId');

alert(myIframe.contentWindow.location.hostname);

I think window object refers to the current window -- the iframe's window object because you're calling it from the iframe.

Try

window.parent.location.hostname

But since they are two different domain names you will encounter a cross-site-scripting security (aka XSS) limitation. You have to configure your servers to allow XSS between the two domains.
