Clear your question. Some code example... and what's the relation between your question and PHP? — SaidbakR, Dec 20 '12 at 12:50

document.location = document.getElementById("iframe_id").contentWindow.location assuming your serving the Javascript from the same domain, else you'll run into XSS vulnerabilities.

I need to get the serach word on goole. – Idan Neeman Dec 20 '12 at 13:21
@hd1's point is very salient - you won't be able to get the URL of the iframe when it is focussed on Google due to cross-domain scripting vulnerabilities. The browser simply won't let you get it. – n00dle Dec 20 '12 at 13:36
hmm ok, so I'm can't to do it? – Idan Neeman Dec 20 '12 at 16:33

            function FrameUrl()
            {
                alert('url = ' + document.frames['frame1'].location.href);
            }
