javascript - Intercept click on content in an iframe

Question

I have an iframe that references an external URL that serves up pages that contain Flash adverts.

I need to track how often a customer clicks on one of those adverts.

The approach I am taking is to render a div element over the iframe. This allows me to intercept the click event, however I need to pass that click down to the iframe. Is this possible using JavaScript?

No, it's not possible. You can't simulate a real click in javascript, you can only fire click events.
