Question

javascript Document ready firefox (jQuery)

Answer 1

+3 A:

document.ready is fired after the DOM is loaded. You may try this:

$(window).load(function() {
    // will execute once all scripts and images are finished loading
});

Think you meant `.load`.

@Crescent, yes I meant `load`. Thanks for the remark.

Answer 2

+1 A:

You don't necessarily need to use jQuery for that.

Simply have an onload function as below:

<body onload="JavascriptFunctionName">

Or you can dynamically attach your function call to the onload event as shown below:

function addEvent(obj, evType, fn){ 
 if (obj.addEventListener){ 
   obj.addEventListener(evType, fn, false); 
   return true; 
 } else if (obj.attachEvent){ 
   var r = obj.attachEvent("on"+evType, fn); 
   return r; 
 } else { 
   return false; 
 } 
}
addEvent(window, 'load', JavascriptFunctionName);

You may embed jQuery functions calls inside the JavascriptFunctionName function.

EDIT:

jQuery is also capable of doing that through the following code. I recommend trying that first, for the sake of avoiding unnecessary redundant code.

$(window).load(function() {
    JavascriptFunctionName();
});

Because that's what I could provide to help OP. If you find any bug in the implementation of the addEvent function, please let me know. Upvotes/Downvotes should relate to how helpful the answer was, and I believe it was. You are free to go ahead and post a better answer.

OP is evidently using jQuery already for `$.getScript`. Why in cripes would you recommend rolling another half-baked `addEvent` implementation when jQuery has this all wrapped up with `$(window).load(init)`? Binding the event is just the tip of the x-browser-event-ugly-iceberg: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1796141/properly-bind-javascript-events/1796729#1796729

It's not half-baked, it works perfectly and this is where it gains its value. Nonetheless, I understand the notion of unnecessary redundant code, so I've amended my answer. Thanks.
