Hopefully, onloading will do that but it's something you'll have to try.
OTTOMH...
<iframe id="iffy"...
function petunia() {
document.getElementById('iffy').src="newpage.html";
}
onload=petunia;
....in the <body> section.

Same as iframe but using <object>.

Use the window.open function with the page to-be-loaded as url. Like...
var dupa=window.open('newpage.html,'gnupage','');
The j/s code within newpage.html should blur the page and make it
invisible if loaded via preload. This last can be done something like...
if (opener) document.body.style.visibility='hidden';
