使用jQuery模拟链接的点击-在iframe之外，哪个链接指向另一个域？

Question

In my head this should be straight forward, but after testing I've discovered that it's not as easy as I thought!

What I am trying to do is click a link outside of an iFrame, which will trigger a dynamic 'quick view' lightbox even within the parent site (which is on a different domain).

For example:

<a class="quickViewLink" href="#"> VIEW TO PURCHASE </a>

<iFrame src="http://www.google.com/">
  <a class="quickViewLink" href="#"> Clicking this will simulate the click of the link outside of this iframe </a>
</iFrame>

I have tried target="_parent" and also tried to use jQuery to target a specific link with no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: I do not have access to the site outside of the iFrame! (this is where I'm getting stuck)

Answer 1

<a class="quickViewLink" href="#"> VIEW TO PURCHASE </a>
<script type="text/javascript">
    function clickLink() {
        $('.quickViewLink').trigger('click');
    }
</script>
<iFrame src="http://www.google.com/">
  <a href="javascript: window.parent.clickLink()" class="quickViewLink"> Clicking this will simulate the click of the link outside of this iframe </a>
</iFrame>

Use it with jQuery.
