I am trying to add a click event to my iframe but it does not seem to work?

code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>

    <script type="text/javascript">

        $('#iframe_id').bind('click', function (event) { alert('hi'); });

    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <iframe id="iframe_id" src="http://www.google.com"></iframe>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Click events on iframes are captured by the iframes themselves and not the parent window nodes. So the `` doesn't receive the click, the `` of it does. — JCOC611, Nov 28 '11 at 01:22

You could try:

document.getElementById("iframe_id").contentWindow.document.body.onclick = 
function() {
  alert("iframe clicked");
}

Hope it helps

Unsafe, and therefore does not work on many browsers. – tekknolagi Nov 28 '11 at 01:23

**Note:** the iframe's content MUST be from your domain! – JCOC611 Nov 28 '11 at 01:24
