Hi,
Thanks to your help (I think) I got the problem, but just can't solve
it:
First I have to say that my code above was more illustrative (in a
none Javascript-way ;) ), but the problem is the same.
Probably some other Javascript code (which isn't in my power to
change) catches the dom:loaded event before, so that my code is
basically ignored (on IE).
Do you have any idea how I can solve the problem?
Thanks a lot!
