iFrame Click event not fired - iframe

Question

How to catch click on an iframe using JQuery. I have an Amazon banner, and I need to close its container DIV when the user clicks the iframe. I've tried 'contents', onclick on iframe, binding the event but nothing works. When I click the iframe it opens Amazon's page on another tab, but the click event never fires. I put a breakpoint and alert just to make sure.
I am using latest JQuery version 1.9 and tested it on Chrome. I also thought about capturing a global click ($(document).click) and check the area of the click, but when I click the iframe, $(document).click doesn't fire. Any suggestions?
Again, it's an Amazon banner iframe, it's hosted on Amazon not on my server.
Example of the regular on binding that doesn't work: http://jsbin.com/oyanis/4/edit

There is a neat trick to get a "click" on on iframe content.
You could do:
<div id="iframeinside">
<iframe />
</div>
This now makes it possible to say in js something like:
var oldActive = document.activeElement; /* getting active Element */
var frame = $('#iframeinside iframe')[0];
$('#iframeinside').mouseenter(function() {
/* Setting interval to 1ms for getting eventually x,y mouse coords*/
oldActive = document.activeElement;
setInterval('doSomething()', 1);
});
$('#iframeinside').mouseleave(function () {
/* clear interval cause we arent over the element anymore*/
clearInterval(intervalId);
});
These intervals do call:
function doSomething() {
/* if the focus has changed to the iframe */
if(oldActive != frame && document.activeElement == frame) {
oldActive = document.activeElement;
alert(myQuery);
alert('click did happen to the iframe');
}
}
I used this for several things and it always worked. What i didnt check was how about ie6,7 and older brothers.
