Question

I am using the following line to kick off main.php which loads an iframe:

 window.location.href = '/main.php?token='+obj.token;

I need to wait for the iframe to complete loading so the $_GET token can be obtained.

After this I want to run the below line to remove the token from the command line:

  window.history.pushState("object or string", "Title", "/new-url");

At the moment pushState always fires to quickly and then token is lost.
Is there a way to delay this until the iframe is completely loaded?
Don’t want to use a timer as it might not work sometimes.

thx

Answer 1

you can bind to the ready event of the iframe like so:

$("#frametest").ready(function(){alert("loaded");});

where frametest is the id of your iframe.

Here is a jsfiddle for this:
