I am opening a new window and then trying to send the main frame to another URL. The problem I have is that the frame hasnt loaded properly by the time I try to change its location. I know this because I have put an alert in that delays the change in URL and it then works. How can I test to make sure it is ready? I tried caseSummaryWindow.document.mainFrame.readyState == "complete" but this is wrong.

Okay let's see if I catch your drift:

You are opening a new window, containing frames.
You want the main frame to change to another url when the framespage is loaded.

Why don't you use the onLoad () event in the original html file in the main frame?

p.e: <body onLoad=&quot;javascript:self.location='newpage.html'&quot;>
