Ummm... ammendment: The complete snippet works: if(document.readyState == null && document.addEventListener){ // on DOMContentLoaded event, supported since ages document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function DOMContentLoaded(){ // remove the listener itself document.removeEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", DOMContentLoaded, false); // assign readyState as complete document.readyState = "complete"; }, false); // set readyState = loading or interactive // it does not really matter for this purpose document.readyState = "loading"; }
But, the minified/re-arranged snippet (the 195 chars) Andrea provided does not work. Do you own minification and you'll be fine, just don't use what he posted. --Kyle On Nov 18, 5:44 pm, Shade <get...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have confirmed in this test: > > http://test.getify.com/archive/dynloadjquery/index6.html > > ...that Andrea's proposed snippet does in fact "patch a page" to have > a proper readyState, assuming of course the snippet itself is > guaranteed to run before domready.
