I have an iFrame that dynamically loads content when needed. THis can be in the form of text or a PDF.

I need to check if its a PDF, then hide an icon accordingly.
So far, the following code works in Chrome and Firefox: 

('#iframeContentControl').load(function () {
    var cssA = $('#iframeContentControl').contents().find('embed').attr("type");
    if (cssA === "application/pdf") {
        $("#pubIcon").hide();
    } else {
        $("#pubIcon").show();
    }
});

Unfortunately, in IE, this doesn't work. When viewing the source, the iFrame doesn't even contain an <embed>.
OnLoad events don't work - And I've scoured SO thoroughly for an answer, but all appear to fail.

The content loads on pageload through an .asax handler.
