: it seems that iframes do not support the onLoad event caller.
: is there a way to make the script below work...without resorting to an onLoad event in the body or script that the IFRAME is calling?!

Paul,

Only in MSIE 4 using the document.all object and the frames readyState property:

<IFRAME ID="myId" SRC="A.html"></IFRAME>

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Interrogate"
onClick="alert (document.all ('myId').ReadyState)">
</FORM>

Possible values include:
- uninitialized - The object is not initialized with data.
- loading - The object is currently loading its data.
- interactive - The object can be interacted with even though it is not fully loaded.
- complete - The control is completely loaded.

Although I've only managed to get it to return the value 4.
Follow-ups:
