verify page loaded succesfully in frame

[Luis Hernandez]

What is the standard practice to verify that a page has loaded succesfully
in a frame when one issues a framename.href= "url"? For example, detecting
404's, or other errors (like domain doesn't exist).

thanks

I believe you can have an onload handler for a frame, as with an image.
But keep in mind that if the source is not on the same server, domain, and
protocol, you can't check the doc to see if it's a 404 or not.
For this kind of thing, server-side scripting is better.

So how would I do that?

(1) parent.theframe .location.href= URL
(2) ??

The pages loaded in the frames are all in the same domain so I have full
access to the contents.

Is there a standard way of checking that 'all is ok' ? Otherwise, I have to
use findText("404") or variations of it?

Thanks!
