It seems possible to play it this way :

  • Load the splash page which contains as preload in the background the HTML page you are using now with the iFrame. The splash page could be identical to the page you have now, with an image occupying the empty space.

Call an HTML Page in the frame that includes a redirect to the intended XOJO app. This doe snot work with all browsers.
