Accessing iframe

BillGatesFan · May 10, 2005

Alright, this is very strange. I call a javascript function in my page
load that accesses an iframe and I get an error. But if I wait till the
page completely loads and access the iframe through a click event
everything works fine.

I'm trying to set some of the iframe's properties on page load. Can I
do this? Please give examples. Thanks

The page must be completely loaded before you can reference an object
within the DOM.
Are you using <body onLoad="doSomething()"> ?

Yes you can say that. Is there anyway to get around it

A useful page on IFRAMES is:-

I'm trying to set some of the iframe's properties on page load.

What in particular, and why?

No. It is in most cases recommended to wait until that,
but, depending on the DOM, it is possible before.
