Hello stackoverflow,

A while ago i was trying to animate a div, well, it works now only one thing. When the first function is activated (starting row 3), and iframe gets loaded. But now, how can i preload that iframe? Because when the animation is finished the iframe isn't loaded...

Greetings

With JQuery, you don't need to use iframes. Take a look at the .load() function. http://api.jquery.com/load

i.e.

$('#tempc').load('src/stream.php?stream=1');

To preload a page, just create a hidden div and show it when ready.

var stream2 = $('<div>').load('src/stream.php?stream=2').hide();
$('#tempc').html(stream2.html());

Start by loading the iframe, hook into onLoad on the iframe (this might give you a headache in itself, but a little googling should show you how to make this work well cross browser) and run your animation from this event.
