How to forcefully click on a button in an iframe using jQuery or PHP?

Question

example

<iframe src="www.google.com"></iframe>

I want to press the button or anchor tag in that iframe.

And also change anchor tag target -> '_self'

Is the iframe on same origin with your first page (where iframe is loaded)? — Ionică Bizău, Oct 24 '13 at 14:47

Expanding on "not possible"...

The "Same origin policies" apply: your only way of communicating with the contents of iframes that come from another [domain|subdomain|protocol|port] is through the postMessage API, which of course requires the other part (the document inside the iframe) to listen to your messages. This means that unless you're a google employee with access to the search frontend, this won't be possible.

If you work at google and want to press a button forcefully, I recommend standing with your foot on your mouse: your weight will help push it with more strength.

On serverside you could use CasperJS to click some stuff inside an iFrame. See here How do I access an iframe from CasperJS?
