when popup window content loaded

[Andrew Poulos]

From a window opener how can I know when a popup window's content has
loaded? I tried:

var pop = window.open(url, str);
pop.onload = something;

which triggers in some browsers but not in IE. For IE I tried

pop.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (pop.readyState == "complete") {
something();
}
};

but it never seemed to trigger.

Did you try "pop.document.body.onload = something" ?

Just did. No joy :-(

You can't. However, you can know from a popup when its document has
finished loading, and you can notify the opener then.

I tried:

var pop = window.open(url, str);
pop.onload = something;

which triggers in some browsers but not in IE. [...]

There is a race condition to begin with.
