Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

The only cross-browser way of doing this, that I know of, is to attach a function to the load event of window; this script should probably go in the head. When this fires, set a boolean so that you know everything is loaded later.

The Prototype library does this; see function fireContentLoadedEvent() in the source.

Answer 2

+1 A:

You can do this in body.onload:

<body onload="document.ready=true;">...

This JavaScript will be executed after the document has been loaded. Just wait until document.ready is true (or no longer underfined).

The better way is to call a JS function in onload which then invokes your external script. This doesn't involve busy waiting but mmigth not work in your case. If you load the external document in a frame, you can store the function to call in the parent document and use "window.parent.function()" from the nested document.

Answer 3

+1 A:

I am not sure of your whole conclusion but sounds like you can just use jquery and set up your code like this:

  <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function(){
 //have all your code of what you are trying to do here
 //
//
  });
</script>

Answer 4

+1 A:

The help site for IEPRO UserScripts seems to indicate they run after the page is loaded. So why do you need to check if the page is loaded?
