Read iframe content cross domain JavaScript

I am loading website (Site A) into my Iframe from my application(Site B). The loading site and my app hosted in different domain? I need to read content from Site A from my Site B. I have gone through so many links, but I can't find any solution from those links

Is there any way to set permission (Access-Control-Allow-Origin) in Site A for Site B to access? if not, any possible way?

There is no good way to do this, for security reasons. A couple of browsers have some hacky ways around it, but cross-browser compatibility becomes an issue.

If you have control over both domains you can use something like easyXDM to message back and forth.

If you don't have control of both domains you will not be able to accomplish what you are trying.
