But my onReady-function is also not really acceptable, because it only means that the DOM is writeable, not that the complete page is loaded...
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsHi,
I provide a script that has to start when the DOM is ready (OnLoad or OnDOMContentLoaded), but it is only executed in 3rd party webpages, so i don't know where it was put in the page or if it was even loaded by another js.
So I use an EventListener for OnLoad/OnDOMContentLoaded,
In Browsers which support document.readyState this is not a problem, but what about the others?
Thx in advance

My solution is to use this function in Firefox (all other supported browsers support document.readyState ):
); oElem ); oElem );
function onReady( pCallback )
{
try
{
var oElem = document.createElement('a'
document.body.appendChild(
document.body.removeChild(
}
catch( oException )
{
setTimeout( function(){ onReady( pCallback ); }, 0 );
return;
}
pCallback();
}
