Jquery: Append iframe, show on ready

I am appending an iframe, google map, on a click, but I don't want the iframe to show until it's fully loaded.

I have a css rule for the iframe as display none, so I just need to show after the appended iframe is fully loaded. What do i need to select, which methods are best to use for this?

Thanks!

Hopefully this answers your question: http://jsfiddle.net/pwqd442L/2/

".ready(), Specify a function to execute when the DOM is fully loaded".

also i found that using "display:none" messed with how the map was shown.

Thanks for the help Robert.

The map I have has a lot of data points on it, so when it initializes on the append the screen does a weird transition, first downloads the frame, then the map background, it takes a few seconds to fully initialize.

Whereas if I load on page start but display none, and then change css on click there is no load because it's already loaded.

I know there is the load method, but that's for ajax requests and I don't think it applies here. And ready doesn't either because that's just for the first page load, right?

Thanks
