Hi Francisco, > The way we do it is via DOMContentLoaded on Mozilla browsers and for IE and > Opera there is the document readystate set to interactive. > > These states are fired after the DOM has been built and before images and > objects etc catch up. Yes, that's the kind of thing I was getting at--you therefore have a clearly defined point where you can draw the line. However, you need to define in some way that models and instances are processed before images and objects, which is still difficult. The other option is to have some kind of delayed evaluation, in much the same way that libraries like Dojo and YUI allow for event registration to be carried out on objects that don't yet exist. As you'll know from your Dojo work, there seems to be some kind of momentum building for the DOMContentLoaded event, and I think we should add our voices to this, since although it doesn't completely solve the AVT problem, it goes some way towards it. I believe that the latest Opera beta has actually added it, so we're only really talking about some kind of solution for IE (which some Ajax libraries now support).
