"OnLoad" executed before page loaded? [External Link]

I was working with iFrames and wrote some code making sure that the frame resize as soon as the page is loaded, but I came across an interesting bug. 3 of my pages works perfectly fine when viewed, but upon returning to the home page, it doesn't resize when it's loaded. I set up an alert to tell me when the page is successfully loaded, and see that the alert comes before the /home.html is loaded. I assume that the home.html's data is loading fast and javascript throws the alert before the page is actually loaded. Here's my website I'm working on: https://preview.c9users.io/zalimitless/guesthouse/index.htm To see the bug click on any other page, then click on home again. Can someone tell me how I can get around this bug? Javascript code: https://code.sololearn.com/WYRJH3x5y1dC (Please don't judge, the page is still under construction)

Hi Limitless I think the Window or Document on load is firing before the body is completed in the case of your home page. try something like this window.onload = function(){ window.document.body.onload = myFunc} I also assume you have done usual trick of putting the script link at the bottom of the HTML rather than the head.

Yes Mike, the script was added at the bottom of the page. The onload function triggers a function that gets the height of the content inside the iframe after it's supposed to load: <iframe id="Flex-Frame" onload="AdjustIframeHeightOnLoad()"></iframe> If I insert it inside the content's code it won't able to change the iFrame's properties
