What Roger said is correct, however the frames you're wanting on that site are
running Flash apps.  I'm not aware of any method that allows one to intercept
clicks within a Flash app. And even if you could determine a click occurred,
you'd have to figure out where in the app precisely and what Flash will do with
that
information.  I suspect this is not possible by design (i.e. security reasons,
etc.)
