Cross domain iframe content load detection

Question

I have a rather interesting problem. I have a parent page that will create a modal jquery dialog with an iframe contained within the dialog. The iframe will be populated wit

It's possible to do this with an onload handler on the iframe itself. Unfortunately (surprise!) IE makes it difficult. The only way I could get this to work was to compose HTML for the iframe, then append it to the document with innerHTML. Then I have to poll to see when the iframe appears in the DOM, which varies depending on if the page is loading. Here's a link to the source: http://svn.openlaszlo.org/openlaszlo/trunk/lps/includes/source/iframemanager.js

See create(), __finishCreate() and gotload(). Feel free to take a copy of this and use it yourself!
