Returns information about the load state of a DHTML scriptlet hosted in the container object.
Syntax
ScriptContainer.readyState = integer
Remarks
This property is read-only. It is available only at run time.
The readyState property returns an integer value between 1 and 4 indicating the load state of the scriptlet, with the following values:
| Value | Definition |
| 1 or 2 | Undefined |
| 3 | Scriptlet text has been loaded, but controls on the scriptlet's HTML page might not yet be functional. |
| 4 | Scriptlet is completely loaded |
In general, you should not attempt to access the scriptlet's functionality before the readyState property is set to 4. You can check the value of this property in a handler for the onreadystatechange event.
