    You may want to use the onLoad event, as in the following example:

    <iframe src="http://www.google.com/" onLoad="alert('Test');"></iframe>

    The alert will pop-up whenever the location within the iframe has changed. The only problem with this technique is that it may not work with some older browsers like IE5 and early Opera. (Source)

    UPDATE:

    Further to your edit, you are getting the “Access Denied” error because you cannot access the contentWindow.location of a website that is not within the same domain of the parent window. While this is unfortunate for your genuine requirement, this is considered a security restriction to prevent cross-site scripting.
