   Cody, like you and I talked about, it would be exceptionally helpful to have the loading image display until the full contents of the iframed window are loaded.
   
   The problem I encountered was ThickBoxing a blog entry from the blog archive page. Since there were database calls and all that going on, the white box came up empty and stayed that way for 8ish seconds (without the loading icon). Even I was confused as to what was happening - users would be even more prone to thinking that there was nothing there or that it was broken.
   
   As you mentioned in our IMing, iframe is a window object, which has an onload method, so you could do this. I can imagine that some people wouldn't want the loading icon there while the iframe loads, so it might make some sense to include this as an configurable option.
   
   Thanks for a great tool - your documentation is also stellar. That it worked the first time I tried (even though I was distracted during part of it and had to accomplish a couple other things at work at the same time) is a testiment to how good the documentation is. Thanks!

   thanks nate...I'll give this some thought for the next version.
   
   BTW - I change the catagory of this post to "Feature Request" and will consider it the first request I have received. I also think it might be possible to keep the loader up until the iframe has content by checking to see if the iframe as innerHTML. Something like this:
   
   document.myiframe.document.innerHTML == null

   hi cody, i see the current version 3 has this "feature" now in. it might be "nice to have" in various places like the scenario n8guy was talking about whose pages take hours to load but: i ran into serious problems with such an option because when i load in various jquery plugins within that iframed-page some of them get problems with the document ready handler because the page is not visible or whatever. is it possible to have this optionized sothat it is possible to disable that "feature"? would be great.

   Was this ever resolved?
   
   I would like to know how to prevent a blank thickbox from showing while the iframe is still loading.
