    Calling onunload in frameset

    In a frameset I have this:

    window.onload = function() {
    frames[1].onunload = function() {
    alert('I'm going now');
    }
    }

    when frames[1] unloads I'm expecting the alert to be called but it never
    does. If, instead, I put this into frames[1] it does call the alert:

    window.onunload = function() {
    alert('I'm also going now');
    }

    How can I get it to work from the frameset?

      As I understand your question, your example code is saying, put an onload
      handler on my frame as I'm [= the frameset] unloading myself. But by then
      I'd expect my frame to already be gone. To double check this, also put
      an alert before the frames[1].onunload = function() ... statement.

          I think I didn't state my problem unambiguously. Let me try again:

          Without putting any script into each frame how can a frameset detect
          events, such as onload and onunload, from each frame (as opposed to the
          entire frameset)?

              I would try (not that I have, mind you):
              Put into the <head> section of the frameset page:
              <script type='text/javascript'>
              function myFunc() { alert("Here I am"); }
              top.onload = top.setTimeout( function() {
              top.frames[1].onunload = top.myFunc; }, 100)
              </script>

              the setTimeout business is because it may be that the frameset's onload
              fires when the page is read in and not after all the frames have loaded.
              If you determine which it is, it would be good if you would let the group
              know - and perhaps you can relax part of the above code (if it works
              at all, that is).

              Also, when you are doing anything with functions across frames it is a
              good idea to fully qualify them (ie, appropriateWind ow.functionName )
