Sample code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script>
function on_iframe_load() {
document.getElementById('iframe_a').onload = function() {
alert('Thanks for the visit!');
};
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<iframe name="iframe_a" id="iframe_a"></iframe>
<a href="http://www.example.com/" target="iframe_a" onclick="on_iframe_load();">Go!</a>
</body>
</html>
It works in all major browsers with no problem, but IE8 (and probably prior versions) don't understand it.
Update: Just came up with a solution, but I'm not sure if it's right coding. Please review:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script>
var clicked = false;
function activate() {
clicked = true;
}
function pop() {
if (clicked) {
alert('Thanks for the visit!');
};
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<iframe name="iframe_a" onload="pop();"></iframe>
<a href="http://www.example.com/" target="iframe_a" onclick="activate();">Go!</a>
</body>
</html>

Using inline attribute on iframe seems to fix this issue in IE8:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script>
function onIframeLoad(iframe) {
if(iframe.src) {
alert('Thanks for the visit!');
}
}
function onLinkClick(url) {
document.getElementById('iframe_a').src = url;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<iframe id="iframe_a" onload="onIframeLoad(this);"></iframe>
<a href="http://www.example.com/" onclick="onLinkClick(this); return false;">Go!</a>
</body>
</html>
update by request:
You should try writing more unobtrusive javascript. Writing code in such way may prevent you from such strange bugs in IE.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<iframe id="display-frame"></iframe>
<a href="http://www.example.com/">Go!</a>
<script>
window.onload = function() {
var iframe = document.getElementById('display-frame'),
link = document.getElementsByTagName('a')[0];
// load handler
function onIframeLoad() {
alert('Thanks for the visit!');
}
// event handlers
if(iframe.addEventListener) iframe.addEventListener('load', onIframeLoad, false);
else if(iframe.attachEvent) iframe.attachEvent('onload', onIframeLoad);
link.onclick = function() {
iframe.src = this.href;
return false;
}
};
</script>
</body>
</html>
