Question

I am wondering how I can get a script that is inserted into an iframe to execute that contains a window.onload function. Because the iframe is already loaded, when I insert the script it is not executed. I do not want to manipulate the script that is inserted in any way. Is there anyway to either re-create the onload state of the iframe without losing the newly inserted script, or, is there a way to have the script saved into the iframe’s DOM so that it loads when it is refreshed?

If you don’t have any other scripts listening to the window’s load event, you could try to re-fire the load event:

$(window).trigger('load');

If you can’t run that code from within the iframe, you can try to look for the iframe window from the parent (provided there are no cross-domain issues):

var iframeWindow = $('iframe#my-frame').get(0).contentWindow;
$(iframeWindow).trigger('load');
