Status Bar 1

[sleuth]

Is there anyway to read the status bar, when a document is loading in a frame set, in the main frame, can the top frame read the loading bar in Ie5 and tell weather it's finished loading or not.

The end reasult I'm looking for is to mimic the loading bar, so if I go full screen with a frame set I could have the loading bar in the top frame since you can't see the IE status bar in fullscreen mode.

Thanks,

I don't think you can actually read the status bar. You could use the ready state event though, and somewhat mimick it I suppose:

Thanks Alot Jaredn,

Do you think you could write out a small example though, I've never been able to get anything I didn't know how to use to work from Microsofts docs, they don't provide examples in their dev libary for some reason.

Thanks mate,
