Hi,
Basically, this won't work in a normal script block:
Event.observe($$('body')[0], 'load', function() {
bodyOnLoad();
);
...because when it runs, the DOM isn't loaded yet, so you can't locate
the body element (or any other; that's what dom:loaded is for, to tell
us when the DOM is ready). In fact, short of using the onload
attribute, you'd have to get the timing *exactly* right to get in
there after the DOM was ready but before the body.load event had
already been fired. Could the MooTools folks be faking it? :-) (E.g.,
saving up the request and the processing it on DOM load, firing the
event synthetically?)
What's the use case? Between dom:loaded and window.load, is there
really any need for body.load?
