Getting the title of a page in an iFrame

I'm trying to get the title of a page in an iFrame. I did look at some other questions on stackoverflow and found the following code:

var title = $("#frame").contents().find("title").html();
alert(title);​

I though it should work.

But here on my jsfiddle the code doesn't seem to work. Can anyone explain to me why it wont work, and give me a suggestion of how I would get this to work. Thanks!

        (function(el, w)
{
    function loadFunc(e)
    {
        e = e || w.event;
        var f = e.target || e.srcElement, fb = f.contentDocument || f.contentWindow.document;
        document.title = fb.title;
    }
    if (w.addEventListener)
        el.addEventListener('load', loadFunc, false);
    else if (w.attachEvent)
        el.attachEvent('onload', loadFunc);
})
(document.getElementById('myIframe'), window);

Cross domain, so the parent javascript will get nothing from iframe content when iframe loaded.

This has been asked and answered many times. You can't access the contents of another domain from your domain. It would be a security risk.
