Don't use .load() to load an iframe. Just set the iframe object's src
property and the browser will do it for you.
<iframe id='foo' width="300px" height="300px"></iframe>
$('#foo').attr('src', 'myurl');
I did that extensively on http://www.imamuseum.org/. Actually what I did
there was have an iframe inside of a div, and the div would get hidden or
shown by jQuery at the same time that I set the src. That way I
could "remove" the iframe whenever I wanted by just hide()ing its wrapping
div.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea,
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas
