Question

Alternative to before </body> tag inline Javascript

Answer 1

A:

Is $(document).ready() what your looking for?

$(document).ready(function() {
    // anything in here will execute when the page has finished loading
});

drs9222 is exactly right, however inline Javascript has it's place to reduce the number of http requests. (which often max out at 2 per domain), because often a lot of wait time is the browser waiting for another pipeline to show up. This is especially true of home pages which often have a lot of one of a kind scripts that you don't care if they are cached. There are also good compressors that in addition to compressing your code, will inline it. Same with CSS.

@zen - The 2 per domain limit is only existent in IE still I believe, though it is to the specification, the other browsers left it behind some time ago.

@drs9222: That actually seemed to work, I already had most my code in the JQuery document ready wrapper and I added the Fouc prevention code right after it, it seemed to result in the same experience. @zenWeasel: That is true, luckily I only have one Javascript document to append aside from Jquery.
