It seems you simply want to display the loading gif while waiting for
the body load event to fire, so why not do exactly that? Set your
loading GIF as the first image to display, perhaps absolutely
positioned in an obvious location, then when the load event occurs,
remove it.

So no loading gif while the html loads, only while the images load?

Most (all?) browsers show an animation to indicate that the page is
still loading, and icons to show images that haven't loaded yet (among
other things). Why do they need this?
