URL in a IFRAME

[Manish Hatwalne]

Let's say I have a struts action at http://xyz.com/someAction.do and this URL is referred from one IFRAME via "src" attribute of IFRAME. Is it possible for me to detect inside someAction.do which page is embedding it in an IFRAME? How can I do this?

As long as the page is in your same domain, you can look into using

document.getElementById("iframeId").location.href

The page will be on another host. Is there anything I can do in the struts action itself?

Let me put question in a different way, if I refer to Google API with this -

<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2.x&key=ABQIAAAAHuQre3TX-ZKoHs97iqelnBQn09xNixTqt4LnUZ12n-xJURxIHRRdLvNa4xtUwCJO0gkyTjCSRjfctQ" type="text/javascript">

How does it know that the request is coming from domain xyz.com? It is not purely based on the key - if I send same key from another domain, it doesn't work! So how can I do that?

TIA,

The headers

Which headers? The referer header is returned as null!

Any pointers here?
