Due to the default "same origin policy", you can do this ONLY if the outer and the inner content is coming from the same domain. You can only bypass this if you set some metadata, but for that you need to have access to the inner source on it's server.

Hi,

you can assign your iframe some ids and use that id to access the iframe control and can able to get the elements inside the iframe.

XML

<script type="text/javascript">
        function parent_function() {
            alert('parent');
        }
        function doit() {
            parent_function();
            document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0].contentWindow.iframe1_function();
            document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0].contentWindow.document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0].contentWindow.iframe2_function();
        }
    </script>

This may help you for understanding.
