javascript - access iframe name from inside iframe

Question

I though this would be simple enough but I can't find the answer. I need to know how I can access an iframe's name from within said iframe. I was trying something like this but it's not working.

<iframe name="thename">
  <script type="text/javascript">
    alert(parent.name);
  </script>
</iframe>

Answer 1

There is a combination of answers I prefer:

// window.frameElement Gets IFrame element which document inside
window.frameElement.getAttribute("Name");

It works on IE7+, Mozilla & Chrome
