I never did that but I suppose there won't be any reason it won't work. Create a div that will "cover up" the whole page. set it's z-index to the maximum so that all interaction is handled by the div and not the underlying elements. Just before the </body> end tag, add code to set the z-index of the "covering" div to 0. All interaction should then be handled by the elements on the page.
But now that I think of it, I suppose that the document.onReadyStateChange event will be fine enough!!! BTW check http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml /reference/objects.asp for IE's DOM sorry for taking your time but maybe it could be useful for somebody one day!!

The onreadystatechange event sounds like what I'm looking for. I came upon it in my searching but didn't know what properties it held. Mainly what I'm concerned about is getting a boat load of images loaded before the user begins trying to interact with them. Netscape/Mozilla seems to be able to deal with "image.onLoad" to verify if an image has been loaded, but IE did not recognize that method. I'll give onreadystatechange a look-see.
