If your page is using a controller or extension (if it's not, just create an extension) then you should be able to get the URL you're after using the referer header for the Visualforce page.

Use the following method to get the URL:

public String getReferer()
{
    return ApexPages.currentPage().getHeaders().get('referer');
}

Then you can just get this in your page using:

<apex:outputText value="{!Referer}"/>

[SalesForce] How to pass variables from Iframe to VF page URL? I’m displaying a vfpage in sidebar as homepage component

I managed to find the answer with the help of one of my friends, it was simple but really hard to find.

<iframe src="/apex/HomePageComponent?core.apexpages.devmode.url=1" id="showskill" frameborder="0" height="100px" width="180px"> </iframe>

I was doing the same stuff earlier also.. just found out something called Frame[0].location which helped me achieve the desired reqmnt.

<script> 
    var location = window.location;  
    var static_location = "/apexHomePageComponent?core.apexpages.devmode.url=1&src="; 
    var abs_url = static_location + location; 
    frame[0].location = abs_url; 
</script>

Now, from the Vf page's controller i can fetch the value of 'src' quite easily

Thank you so much Vishal for this. :)

[SalesForce] How to fetch record id using Salesforce instance URL address

I guess you can use the string methods now to pull the ID.

BrowserURL=BrowserURL.right(15);//Pull from right the 15 digit Id

If your org is not update to winter 13 then you can use String.Split('/') and get the last array element value .
