Javascript - click link in iframe

Question

I was able to grab a link from my iframe from the parent. They are on the same domain.

var iframe = document.getElementById('ifr1');
doc = iframe.contentDocument;
doc.getElementsByTagName('a')[10].href

How can I click on that link from the parent?

In JavaScript:

doc.getElementsByTagName('a')[10].click();

Or

window.location.href = doc.getElementsByTagName('a')[10];

Or you can invoke any links with JQuery this way:

$("#ifr1 a:eq(10)").click();

Thanks. What does the a:eq mean on the jquery one? – user3893623 Aug 18 '14 at 22:00
a mean to search for link and :eq to get the element number 10 (the number is set between parentheses) – Patrick Desjardins Aug 18 '14 at 22:19

I don't know if its possible, but I would read the href and set it as the location.path
