Sample code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<iframe name="iframe_a" onload="alert('Thanks for the visit!');"></iframe>
<a href="http://www.example.com/" target="iframe_a">Go!</a>
</body>
</html>
I'd like to see the alert message after clicking on the link and when the iframe finishes loading. But now it appears on the initial page load, too. How can I achieve it?

Hi there Rain Lover,
here is my little attempt at solving your problem...

alert('Thanks for the visit!');
}
document.getElementById('iframe_a_container').appendChild(ifr);
return false;
}
}
window.addEventListener?
window.addEventListener('load',init,false):
window.attachEvent('onload',init);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="iframe_a_container"></div>
<div>
<a id="go" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/">Go!</a>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Of course, my CSS will be better than my javascript. :)

Very beautiful! But it doesn't work in IE8.

Hi there Rain Lover,
I only tested it in IE9 and with Compatibility Mode for IE8.
I will turn on my old pc to test in real IE8. ;)

Hi there Rain Lover,
This amended code will work in IE8 and I have also fine tuned the code to alert once only. ;)
<script type="text/javascript">
function init(){
test=true;
document.getElementById('go').onclick=function(){
ifr=document.createElement('iframe');
ifr.setAttribute('src',this.href);
ifr.src=this.href; /* IE8 needs this */
ifr.setAttribute('id','iframe_a');
ifr.onload=function() {
if(test==true){ /* this ensures a one off alert */
alert('Thanks for the visit!');
test=false;
}
}
document.getElementById('iframe_a_container').appendChild(ifr);
return false;
}
}
window.addEventListener?
window.addEventListener('load',init,false):
window.attachEvent('onload',init);
</script>

Hi there Rain Lover,
The code in my previous post did get the "iframe" to work in IE8, but not the alert. :(
After a little research I have managed to overcome that obstacle...
