You can just do onload="this.readyState = 'done'" or some such. I don't want to add yet another feature because the more features we add, the harder it will be for browser vendors to implement everything, and from what I understand, this simply isn't a high priority feature. Maybe in the next version it would make more sense; or we might add it in HTML5 if it turns out there is content that requires this feature. But for now I don't think it's worth adding. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
