How to capture all the events performed on iframe?

Question

NOTE : The url of iframe is external link which is on different domain that I cannot modify.

I could get a solution in which I was able to detect only a click event .

var monitor = setInterval(function(){
var elem = document.activeElement;
if(elem && elem.tagName == 'IFRAME'){
    message.innerHTML = 'Clicked';
    clearInterval(monitor);
}
}, 100);

Also , at this place it has been stated that there is no way we can capture the events of an external iFrame . I want to capture all the events . Is it possible ?

If you own both sites/domains then use postmessage when clicking in child document, this won't work on IE8

• postmessage http://javascript.info/tutorial/cross-window-messaging-with-postmessage
