How do I acces iframe with Jquery

I have Google in an iframe. I want to have some control over the input so I tried:

  $('#iframeID').contents().find('input').keydown(function () {

     $(".SomeDiv").hide();

 });

Why isn't this working?

You cannot access the iframe content which is in a different domain than its parent unless you map the domain which mostly is not allowed in all the browsers due to security reasons.

It's hard to answer the question without the underlying code, but have a look at this forum thread. At the bottom is a jQuery example, in which the same problem as you have is solved with jQuery.

This is why you can't do this.
