access an element through CSS Path from outside of iframe

Question

i want to access a dom element through CSS Path inside the iframe. following is the direct CSS Path:

var dompath = "html body div div div div div div div ul li a:contains('Parks')";

$(dompath).click();

the above line is working fine if i am opening the page without iframe.

I want to open the same page inside the iframe and want to trigger click on the above element from outside the iframe. i have tried in this way, but its not working.

            $('#scaled_frame').contents().(domPath).click();

how can i perform the click action from outside.

Best Regards,
