Lets say your iframe is:

<iframe id="myframe"></iframe>

First you need to access its document

var iframe_doc = document.getElementById("myframe").contentDocument;

Now you can work with it.

To get all anchors:

var all_anchors = iframe_doc.getElementsByTagName("a");

(You will not be able to do that if the parent and the iframe don't share the same protocol, domain and port due to same origin policy)
