Answer 1

If the domain, protocol and ports match, just use...

var links = $('iframe:first').contents()[0].links;

jsFiddle.

...or without jQuery...

var iframe = document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0],
    doc = iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document; 

var links = doc.links;

jsFiddle.

This takes advantage of the document.links property.
