[Javascript] Onload and onunload spinner

[Terry Riegel]

It may not be possible, but I am looking for a way to trigger an  
event everytime a web connection starts, then another event when it  
finishes.

I have a Frames based page like...

   +---------------------------+
   |buttons                *   |
   +---------------------------+
   |path                       |
   +-------+-------------------+
   |browse |details            |
   |       |                   |
   |       |                   |
   |       |                   |
   +-------+-------------------+

I am trying to figure out how to have "buttons" monitor activity on  
"details" when a page is requested turn on the spinner, when it is  
loaded turn off the spinner. Onload and onunload do not seem to be  
consistent for this. The content in details is from the same domain  
as all of the other pages, but will not be managed by this, so adding  
js to this page will not work.

Any Ideas?
