RE: javascript question

Hi Christian,

I don't know if this is what you are looking for.

(Well... I work in a IE only environment)

The document object in IE has a 'readyState' property.

I normally use it when loading script files across frames.

E.g.

  function setup() {
    if (top.JScripts != null) {
      if(top.JScripts.document.readyState.toString() != 'complete') {
        window.setTimeout('setup();',50);	//	Wait for
document completion
        return;
      }
      
      //Process the setup procedure.
    }
  }

Thanks Diez,

That's kind of what I ended up doing. Basically, I set a flag saying
"pageFullyLoaded=false" and then as the pages finish loading I change
that
value to true. Then, when I get an onload() event in the body of the
main
page (indicating the page complete), I can check the value - if its
still
set to false, that tells me that the user interrupted it somehow.

Works perfectly in NN/MZ (for both pressing the stop button and
hitting
CTRL+R); in IE, however, it only works for pressing the stop button. I
can
live with that I suppose...
