NN could mean Netscape 4.7 or it could mean Netscape 7.1: HUGE
difference between the 2.

oFrame is a window object reference. And divSummary most likely is a div
id attribute. You can't access just like that a div within a document
within a window object.
In any case, you're trying to verify if a div in a frame you loaded
exists. I don't understand why. In any case, just an onload event on the
body might suffice. It depends on what you want to achieve exactly:
webpage context, situation, ...

This will lead to a recursive function and such usually imposes a lot of
to the users' system resources . This is definitively not recommendable.
There is no ending condition to your recursive calls here. If the user
is connected to this function for 5 min., then every 0.2 sec., the
function will start checking if your divSummary exists or does not
exist: it never ends! That's insane.
What exactly are you trying to achieve? You may be trying to find the
solution to a wrongly assessed problem.

You should give more specifics about your webpage situation, design. An
url is usually also necessary to assess issues.
