[mochikit] Re: Anyone Else Interested in a New Synthesized onReady Event (ala JQuery)?
Between the feedback on this list and the feedback I got offline (one
Oh god, yes. email) it seems that there definitely is an interest
for an ondomready synthesized event. As soon as I can find the time
I'll try to combine Felipe's version (tweaked as per Per's comment)
with jQuery's (to cover any browser cases Felipe's version doesn't)
and post the result to this list.
However, I do have one concern. It seems pretty clear that this
method is going to have to use a certain amount of browser detection
to work (well, browser detection sucks, so I'll try to implement it as
feature detection, but it will amount to the same thing). Currently
the only browser/feature detection I know of in Mochikit is
Mochikit.Signal's hidden _browserAlreadyHasMouseEnterAndLeave function
(which doesn't actually check for either of those events; it just
checks whether the UA string has MSIE in it).
So I COULD just create a few more methods like
_browserAlreadyHasMouseEnterAndLeave to make ondomready work, OR I
could add real browser detection functionality to Mochikit.
Personally, I think the latter approach is better (it gives Mochikit
more tools, and makes any future browser-dependent coding easier), but
then again Bob et. all might have reasons for wanting to keep that
sort of thing out of Mochikit.
If there is support for real browser detect functions (as opposed to
hidden ones that are only used within Mochikit), I'd almost certainly
startwith PPK's browser detector:
http://www.quirksmode.org/js/detect.html
Thoughts?

that cool?
1) The DOMContentLoaded event fires sooner (and if you have a heavy
page, MUCH sooner) than the onLoad event (although you can't do
stuff that depends on the rendered DOM, like getElementDimensions,
until onLoad goes off). As a result, you can get significant
performance improvements just by changing (most of) your onLoad code
to be onDOMContentLoaded code.
2) Internet Explorer doesn't support DOMContentLoaded :-( Luckily
however, this guy:http://javascript.nwbox.com/IEContentLoaded/
figured out a hack to emulate the event in IE. When you call
ready(someFunc), behind the scenes JQuery handles figuring out
whether to use the hack or the real event.
Now, I don't have any desire to switch to jQuery; it has the same
basic stuff as Mochikit, but none of the wonderful advanced stuff like
partial, keys, etc. I would however like to have access to this
fake event. Am I alone in this, or would others on this list like
to see a synthesized Mochikit DOMContentLoaded event (similar to the
existing synthesized onmouseenter and onmouseleave events)?
If there is interest in this event I'll be happy to help write a
proper Mochikit patch, but if not I'll just steal (quick and dirty
style) the jQuery event for my own purposes.

I liked the ondomready name and structure. Looking at MSDN, they
provide the following solution instead of writing new script tags into
the document (not tested, just pasted):
document.onreadystatechange=fnStartInit;
function fnStartInit()
{
if (document.readyState==complete)
