detecting where my site is iframed

I know that iframed pages can tell that they are, but is it possible to tell where? parent.location runs into security issues when parent is a different domain, as far as I can tell. Any work arounds?

I haven’t tested, but you should be able to do something like:

if (window.top !== window.self) {
    alert("I am a frame. The parent document is " + document.referrer);
}

If you wanted to put the effort in, you could write a plugin(for all browsers) or active x(for ie) to determine this as they are not blocked from accessing the clients computer as much as javascript ect.

Wouldn't it show up in your server logs as the referrer? I know that's not a programmatic way, but i'm wondering if you're just trying to track down people stealing your content.

No you can't access the parent window if its not on the same domain.
