What I was trying to acomplish was to display a loading div tag that emcampassed the screen and then hide it when the iframe finally loaded.

Works how I want it to in Firefox, however, not so much in IE.

In IE, the loading div never appears and continues to load the iframe.

Any thoughts?

      }
    else {
        ele.style.display = "block";

    }

Answered my own question.

Added a nice little z-index to the Div tags :)

Can you mark it solved!
