Determine whether htm is loaded ?

[nomy]

Hi
I am executing a javascript code in framed document.
Script is being executed in a frame which loads an htm file in another frame and gets a property of document that is loaded. Problem is that the document takes time to load completely and when the property is tried to get, it gives an error. What can I do to check whether the document has been loaded fully or not.

You just need to set onload event handler. For example:

parent.frames['tempFrm'].onload=myfunction;
parent.frames['tempFrm'].location.href='my.htm';

You could access parent.frame2.document.readyState

The possible values are uninitialized, loading, loaded, interactive, and complete.

So, if parent.frame2.document.readyState=="complete", then do your code.

Or you could use parent.frame2.document.onload, as Michael suggested, which executes the specified code whenever the document has finished loading.

Hey tanderso, where did you find that property? That's actually quite cool, say are there many odd props like this that people don't know about, how do you find them?
