The website in the iframe isn't located in the same domain, but both are mine, and I would like to communicate between the iframe and the parent site. Is it possible?

With different domains, it is not possible to call methods or access the iframe's content document directly.
You have to use cross-document messaging.
Must Read
parent -> iframe
For example in the top window:
myIframe.contentWindow.postMessage('hello', '*');
and in the iframe:
window.onmessage = function(e) {
if (e.data == 'hello') {
alert('It works!');
}
};
