Can you detect onload event of one frame from another frame multiple times in html and javascript code?

Question

I have an html page that uses frames. I want to detect onload event of one frame (call it frame A) from another frame (call it frame B). Frame A is frequently loaded with new html pages. Frame B is only loaded once with the onload event code. The idea is to have frame B detect each time frame A is loaded. I tried loading frame B first, then frame A. Frame B was able to detect the first time frame A loaded, but not any subsequent loads. It seems the onload event only works one time. Only if I reload frame B, can the onload event work again, but again only one time. This defeats my purpose of keeping frame B static while detecting frame A's dynamic activity. Any ideas? Is multiple detection of the onload event even possible with html and javascript?

Answer 1

The easiest approach is to have the second frame notify the first. I don't know how you manage your reload operations. Thus, I simply set this up to allow you manually to reload the second frame to demo purposes. When the second frame is reloaded, it will notify the first frame.
