Since they pages appear on different origins:

  1. The page containing the frame needs to listen for a Message event.
  2. The page inside the frame needs to send a message using postMessage.

This, obviously, requires changes on both sites. Explicit co-operation between the sites is required for obvious security reasons (if they aren't obvious, imagine your bank's website being loaded in an iframe by a random site you visited via Google).
