How can I get the url of an iframe?

How can I get the URL of an iframe that load a page in other site (CORS)?

iFrameObject.contentWindow.location.href

returns CORS Error

UPDATE:

The user will navigate inside the iframe and will get another url that I didn't know. This is what I want to check, if the user gets to that url, the iframe close itself.

You can simply get it's src property:

var URL = iFrameObject.src;
// something like "http://example.com"

UPDATE: Since that the URL of the frame will change and become different from the src property, you'll not be able to access it without violating the Cross-Origin policy. You cannot perform any action in an iframe that has got another origin.
