Detecting click on link inside iframe

i have a simple html page with an iframe.
Inside the iframe i have a page from external site which i cant change.
Can i detect an onclick event when someone clicked the link inside the iframe?

Sorry, you can't.

As long as the page is from an external site, there's nothing you can do to detect click on links or anything else.

Also,the link already contains onclick
onclick='ha(2)'
so, i want to join the original onclick with the new onclick
like this
onclick = 'ha(2);myclick()";
i didnt succeded...
var OnClickStr = links[0].onclick;
links[0].onclick = MyLink; + ";" + OnClickStr;

Zvonko

Joining the handlers is done like this:

document.links[15].oldclick=document.links[i].onclick;
document.links[15].onclick=function(){this.oldclick();myclick(1)};

You cannot pass parameters when you change the event handler the way I showed.
You need to do it the way Zvonko did. However that will add a new funtion to every link on the page
