You can use jquery to make it easier:

alert($("#iframeid").attr("src"));

You can also use jquery contents() to retrieve or manipulate any tags inside that iframe. example:

$("#iframeid").contents().find("a").css("background-color","red").end().find("title").text();

From javascript? If you can run some JS inside the iframe:

alert(document.location.href);

If you can't - need to get a reference to the iframe in question:

IE:

alert(document.getElementById(iframeId).contentWindow.document.location.href);

FF, Safari, Chrome, etc:

alert(document.getElementById(iframeId).contentDocument.location.href);

As mentioned - you wont be able to do this if the URL that is loaded is not from the same domain as your website.

Unfortunately, you don't really have much control over an Iframe once it loads. I think pretty much the only thing you have control over is the ability to reload it with a new URL programatically.

If the page loaded by the Iframe is part of your website (not 3rd party), you can process the request server-side.
