I understand that it is not possible to tell what the user is doing inside an iframe
if it is cross domain. What I would like to do is track if the user clicked at all in the iframe
. I imagine a scenario where there is an invisible div
on top of the iframe
and the the div
will just then pass the click event to the iframe
.
Is something like this possible? If it is, then how would I go about it? The iframes
are ads, so I have no control over the tags that are used.
This is certainly possible. This works in Chrome, Firefox, and IE 11 (and probably others).
focus();
var listener = window.addEventListener('blur', function() {
if (document.activeElement === document.getElementById('iframe')) {
// clicked
}
window.removeEventListener('blur', listener);
});
Caveat: This only detects the first click. As I understand, that is all you want.
