javascript detect if frame is called

[Silver-0-surfer]

Hi All.

Is it possible to write a piece of javascript that will check if a frame is "created" on a webpage.

I know you can use window.parent.frames.length but as far as I can see that only works on the frame itself not on the page that called/created(?) it.

can this be done?

Haven't checked this, but maybe (using jQuery):

if ($('frame').length) {
//do something
}

You want know if a frame has been created in a window other than the one you're coding in? Assuming you opened the window via script, you should have a reference to it and therefore should be able to access it's document object and all the document's children including the iframe.
