JQuery and frames - $(document).ready doesn't work

Question

I have a page, with some code in js and jQuery and it works very well. But unfortunately, all my site is very very old, and uses frames. So when I loaded my page inside a fr

Answer 1

I have tried the method mentioned in another comment:

$("#frameName").ready(function() {
    // Write you frame on load javascript code here
} );

} );

   }

There is no reason for $(document).ready() not to be called. Be sure your page contains an include to jquery.js. Try to do a simple test with an empty HTML page and just an alert to see if there is another problem.

If you are trying to use this inside the HTML page that contains the frame's definition, keep in mind that there is no document there, you will have to use the
