Clicked linked withing iframe

If I have a website loaded inside an iFrame, like this:

$("#myIframe").attr("src",url);

...is it possible to capture a URL of a new page when a user clicks a link withing that site?

You cannot access the content of an iframe from the page containing it since that would allow you to do alot of evil stuff like steal session cookies, make the user click stuff he didn't want to on another site, etc..

Glennulars answer will apparently work tho. :)

I don't know if events bubble up to the iframe, but you could try:

$("iframe").click(function(e){
  console.log('something was clicked');
});

You can attach to the onLoad Event

<iframe src="/test.html" onLoad="alert(this.contentWindow.location);"></iframe>

or 

$('#myIframe').load(function() {
  alert("the iframe has been loaded, pull the src");
});
