Trigger something on iframe click

Question

Got a js that appends an iframe with content from other site. I need certain action to be triggered on click within the iframe.

Obviously, i can't use elements inside iframe. I've tried following, and it didn't work.

$('.container iframe').click(function(){
   alert('works!");
});

Then I tried this.

$('.container').click(function(){
   alert('works!");
});

click on container works, but when click happens within iframe, it doesn't work.

Can someone point me in right direction? Thank you!

I'm afraid this is not possible. If you were able to listen for events on the content of the iframe, it would be open to abuse. — Stefan Pante, Mar 25 '15 at 20:15

    var iframeBody = $('body', $('.container iframe')[0].contentWindow.document);
    $(iframeBody).on('click', function(e) {
        // your code
    });
