Alter the anchor attribute content loaded in iframe source

Question

I have a popup iframe content, the source(src) of iframe is a html response generated from a another server. The content includes links, and text. The anchor tag does not have any target attribute, so when we click the link it opens in the same iframe. I need to add target="_parent" to the anchor, using javascript.so that it can be loaded in the parent page.

Is there any way we can alter the anchor attribute using javascript.

Imagine being able to load Google in an iframe and then modifying the search button so that is loads results from Bing... — James Hill
@ManseUK, you're telling me! I had to Google search engines other than Google to find one for my example ;) — James Hill

For security reasons, it is completely impossible to interact with content from another domain (unless it cooperates).

You need to modify the other code.
