Nicholas Zakas has an article about detecting if an iframe loaded: http://www.nczonline.net/blog/2009/09/15/iframes-onload-and-documentdomain/. Basically you have this code snippet:

var iframe = document.createElement("iframe");
iframe.src = "simpleinner.htm";

if (iframe.attachEvent){
    iframe.attachEvent("onload", function(){
        alert("Local iframe is now loaded.");
    });
} else {
    iframe.onload = function(){
        alert("Local iframe is now loaded.");
    };
}

document.body.appendChild(iframe);

I haven't tested it, but I'm pretty sure jQuery should be able to handle it by doing something like $("#iframe").load(function () { alert("Local iframe is now loaded."); });
