I’m trying to clone elements in a facebook iframe and append it back to its parent.

The first thing I did was to select the element that I want to clone(I’m using chrome dev tools):

var clone = $($0).clone();

Then selected its parent:

var parent =  $($0).parent();

Then appended the clone back to the parent:

clone.appendTo(parent);

But I got this one:

As you can see it doesn’t actually append to the iframe but in the parent variable.
Is there something wrong with my approach? Does facebook not allow this? I just need to make a few clones for a dummy account because I don’t want to trouble my friends. All I need to do is to send out a few invites to use a facebook app so I was thinking of cloning a dummy account on the friend selection.

I’m talking about the request dialog:

    You cannot access a facebook iframe from outside the frame because of same-origin security restrictions in a browser. You will not be able to copy or modify the DOM in the iframe if it is served from a different domain than the host page.
