Answer 1

I couldnt get previous solution to work but I found out that if I set the iframe scr with for example http:otherdomain.com/page.htm?from=thisdomain.com/thisfolder then I could, in the iframe extract thisdomain.com/thisfolder by using following javascript:

var myString = document.location.toString();
var mySplitResult = myString.split("=");
fromString = mySplitResult[1];
