Progress Bar and iFrame issue on Safari
I am developing a page that will load a pdf into a iFrame and then print the pdf to a local printer connected to the users computer. I have the print routine working, but I want to add a progress bar to add a 2-3 second delay to give the pdf enough time to load on slow connections on large print jobs.
I added the progress bar from Brian Gosselin and the page works correctly in Firefox, but not in Safari. I have gotten down to the fact that the last line of the code "window.onload=progressBar
If I remove the iFrame, the script works in both browsers so the issue is tied to the iFrame. Could the issue be that the browser is leaving the iFrame as the current focus? if so how can I return it to the main page?

or perhaps
window.onload=function() { setTimeout('progressBarIni
window.onload=function() { setTimeout('progressBarIni

Nope, both those still work in Firefox, but not in Safari. I can even take this farther....
Even simplifying the code to just say "Hi" will not work in Safari, but works great in firefox.

Here are some more details.....
If you change the iFrame to hold a gif or any other html page it works correctly.

Ok, then the iframe does not trigger the onload because the pdf is not shown in the iframe as in windows.

Correct, the iFrame will not call the onload, but it prevents the main page from calling onload....
