It is amazing how much chatter we have about wanting to know when the darn DOM is ready, and finding the right place to start doing your work. We just posted about IEContentLoadedand already Stuart Langridge has taken that and the other approaches and come up with this 7 liner (if you aren't using a library that already does it for you):
-
- (function(i) {varu =navigator. userAgent;var e=/*@cc_on!@*/false; varst =
- setTimeout;if(/webkit/i.test(u)){st(function(){vardr=document. readyState;
- if(dr=="loaded"||dr=="complete"){i()}else{st(arguments.callee,10);}},10);}
- else if((/mozilla/i.test(u)&&!/(compati)/.test(u))|| (/opera/i.test(u))){
- document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",i,false); } else if(e){ (
- function(){vart=document. createElement('doc:rdy');try{t.doScroll('left');
- i();t=null;}catch(e){st(arguments.callee,0);}})();}else{window.onload=i;}})(YOUR_FUNCTION);

John Resig is taking jQuery in a different direction though:
I have another technique that I posted to the list a while back, that I'll be switching jQuery to. If you attempt to insert into the document.body before the document is fully loaded, an exception is thrown. I take advantage of that to determine when the document is fully loaded. I like that particular technique better because it actually tells you when you can manipulate the DOM - as opposed to this scroll thing which may, or may not, correspond to the document being loaded.

What is XSTM?
XSTM is a n open sourcelibrary which enables high performance object replication between processes. It is an object oriented Distributed Shared Memory, or a Distributed Object Cache.
XSTMhas similarities with technologies like Adobe Flex Data Services , JBoss Cache, Terracotta, Tangosol Coherence , ScaleOut , or IBM's ObjectGrid .
Our model is based on object shares, which work like file shares. When an object is added to a share, it appears on the other machines which have the same share opened. Modifications done to the fields of the object are from this point replicated between machines.
Read more in the project overview.
XSTMis made of three projects. The Java implementation is called JSTMand is the base from which
the other versions are derived. An adapted version made with Luciano, the
author of GWM , is available for GWT . It allowsthis library to be used in a browser. NSTM is a .NET port based on IKVM.
All implementations are compatible with each other so object replication can take
place e.g. between a Java server and a .NET Smart Client.
- No plugins like Flash or Java required.
- Popup blockers are no problem. The content expands within the active browser window.
- Single click. After opening the image or HTML popup, the user can scroll further down or leave the page without closing it.
- Compatibility and safe fallback. If the user has disabled JavaScript or is using an old browser, the browser redirects directly to the image itself or to a fallback HTML page.
The Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) Library is a set of utilities and controls, written in JavaScript, for building richly interactive web applications using techniques such as DOM scripting, DHTML and AJAX. The YUI Library also includes several core CSS resources. All components in the YUI Library have been released as open source under a BSD license and are free for all uses.
Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is an open source Java software development framework that makes writing AJAX applications like Google Mapsand Gmaileasy for developers who don't speak browser quirks as a second language. Writing dynamic web applications today is a tedious and error-prone process; you spend 90% of your time working around subtle incompatibilities between web browsers and platforms, and JavaScript's lack of modularity makes sharing, testing, and reusing AJAX components difficult and fragile.
GWT lets you avoid many of these headaches while offering your users the same dynamic, standards-compliant experience. You write your front end in the Javaprogramming language, and the GWT compiler converts your Java classes to browser-compliant JavaScript and HTML.
