Sorry, to clarify my code fragment, I want to wait until the DOM is ready before running a chunk of code:
var ajax = new Ajax.Request(url, { onSuccess: function(res) { // run this once the DOM is ready } }); I can't add document.observe("dom:loaded", ...) to the start of the onSuccess function because it appears to not run if the DOM is already ready, which makes perfect sense from an event based point of view. I guess part of the problem is that dom:loaded is more of a flag than an event... (It can never happen more than once, for example.) --M.
