Well, the browser seems to generate a "load" event on an <iframe>
element in the context of the containing page. The "load" fires when the "src" is changed; not sure whether it fires when the iframe changes itself.
edit: yes it does seem to fire when the page reloads "internally"
Thus you might try:
$('iframe#yourId').load(function() {
alert("the iframe has been loaded");
});
Am doing a litle trick (dirt but it works) :) to display a loading object
function changeDet(old){ //detect src changes
if($("iframe#ifID").attr('src') != old){
$("iframe#ifID").width(0); //error if i hide ...?
}
setTimeout('changeDet("' + $("#db").attr('src') + '")',10);
}
var df = $('#iframe#ifID');
df.load(function(){ //content loaded
setTimeout('$("#db").width(var_default_width);',100);
});
changeDet();
$(function(){
//jq stuffs...
})
</script>
You can use this to fire event on change.. Works on IE8 and firefox
if(document.addEventListener){
yourIFrameObject.contentWindow.document.addEventListener('keyup', yourFunction, false);
// window.frames[0].document.addEventListener('keyup', yourFunction, false);
}
else{
//for IE8
yourIFrameObject.contentWindow.document.attachEvent('onkeyup', yourFunction);
}
You could use a mouseup
statement if necessary
