Description

Detecting when an IFRAME has finished loading can be done using .load(), but .live('load', ..) and .delegate('...', 'load', ...) do not seem to work.

Test case: http://jsfiddle.net/AYY8m/1/

Sounds like we'll just need to document this: "The .live() and .delegate() methods cannot be used to detect the load event of an iframe."

The load event doesn't bubble up to the parent document, and the event.target isn't set by Firefox, IE9, or Chrome which we need to be able to do event delegation anyway. In Chrome the frame load event even fires *after* the parent document load, which was unexpected to me!
