Better addLoadEvent function.. (DOMContentLoaded?)

A patch would make this happen really fast.

Also note that it can't use JScript conditional comments since the dojo compressor does not support them.

JScript cond. -> yes, I understand.

I know that you can find solutin on your own ;) but check this code, from jQuery:

if ( jQuery.browser.msie ) {
	
		// Only works if you document.write() it
		document.write("<scr" + "ipt id=__ie_init defer=true " + 
			"src=//:><\/script>");
	
		// Use the defer script hack
		var script = document.getElementById("__ie_init");
		script.onreadystatechange = function() {
			if ( this.readyState != "complete" ) return;
			this.parentNode.removeChild( this );
			jQuery.ready();
		};
	
		// Clear from memory
		script = null;
}

This solution is better, because it prevents unnecessary memory consumption.

A patch would make this happen really fast. well, here comes a patch. This was inspired, because I'd like addLoadEvent to use MochiKit.Signal if it's there, so addLoadEvent remains compatible.

This is implemented with Dean Edwards' IE script defer hack. The interface is as follows: connect(document, 'onDOMContentLoaded', func) or addLoadEvent(func)

tested in IE6 and Firefox, an example is at: http://ccnmtl.columbia.edu/draft/sky/mochikit/domContentLoaded.html

DOMContentLoaded in MochiKit.Signal

DOMContentLoaded in MochiKit.Signal patch replacement

same patch, this time safer to use on DOM nodes besides document

Your patch doesn't work on Konqueror, and I don't think on Safari either.

No, this doesn't work in Safari or WebKit?. What's the use case again?

The use case is an onload method that fires when DOM content is loaded, not waiting for static elements (eg images).

I tried to find a solution. It works under Firefox and Konqueror. Beau, what do you think ?
