(javascript) Keep checking for a element before proceeding.

from a hidden frame I am loading a page that has quite a few input boxes and directly after that I am location.href'ing a page into that hidden frame that will outerHTML some values to some of the inputs just added. Theoreticly it works

The problem I am having is that my computer or internet connection is too fast and the inputs are not there in time. I wrote a function that I thought would work but it didn't.

Code:

function loadPropertyInfoPage(){
	if (!parent.frames[2].document.all.HotelID){
		parent.frames[2].location.href = "propertyinfo.asp";
		setTimeout("loadPropertyInfoPage()",1000); 
	} 		
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>
<script>
loadPropertyInfoPage();
.then do outerHTMLs
</script>

any suggestions?
Thanks
Michael

It seems to be working but if anyone has a better way I'm all ears

use the onload event of the hidden frame, to execute the function? just a thought.
