How can I tell that all frames in a frameset are completely loaded?

Is there an event that fires when all frames in a frameset are completely loaded?

The FRAMESET element has an
  ONLOAD
handler for that so
  <FRAMESET ONLOAD="alert('all frames completely loaded')" ...>
shows when all frames are loaded.

Be aware that IE4.01 and IE5.0 for Windows calls the FRAMESET ONLOAD 
event before the ONLOAD events of the child FRAMEs. Netscape 4+ and Mac 
versions of IE4+ appear to work properly.

If you use window.open() to load a new frameset, beware that Netscape 
4.05 and 4.7 on the Mac fail to call the FRAMESET's ONLOAD event for 
the new window. Versions 4.01, 4.04 and 4.61 on the Mac *do* call the 
ONLOAD event. I'm unsure about other Mac versions of Netscape...
