Using ajaxSend to capture requests from parent page within an iframe

Using ajaxSend to capture requests from parent page within an iframe

I have a web page that exists on my webserver (that I cannot modify) that sends ajax requests. Within that page is an iFrame which contains a page that I CAN change that exists within the same domain. From within that iFrame, I am trying to use ajaxSend to capture what the parent page is sending but it does not seem to be working. Is this possible to do from the iframe?
Here is the javascript that exists in the page within the iframe. 

<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () { $(document).ajaxSend(function (evt, xhr, settings) { if (xhr != null) { $("#request").text(xhr); } }); } </script>
