Javascript DOM ready without an entire framework

Does anyone know of a good javascript DOM ready library that I can use without loading an entire framework? I found one on google code that seems to work, but the library was posted in 2008 and I can't find any confirmation on up-to-date cross browser support.

have you taken a look at dean.edwards.name/weblog/2006/06/again ? Specifically this comment. Its not plug'n'play ready...but it shouldn't be too hard to set up. – Peridium 28/4, 2010 at 18:33

I'd have to ask why is the only thing - jQuery is 19k zipped, and loaded once, used by millions of people on a daily basis so you know it has to work. – Aquamarine 28/4, 2010 at 18:55

Im with altcognito, look into jQuery is your best bet – Septillion 28/4, 2010 at 19:22

It seems that the safest bet is indeed to use a javascript framework. I was able to find some small DOMready libraries - but nothing written recently or claiming to be confirmed working with the most current browser releases.

David Mark's "My Library" has a "DOM ready" functionality:

David is avid anti-framework, anti-bad-javascript-practice so it should be good quality code.

Also his library is completely modular so you can just use the DOM ready part without having to get "everything". – Zipangu 11/8, 2010 at 13:41

The very minimal core + domready extension are 8K uncompressed and unminified. – Fricassee 9/5, 2011 at 14:38

Just do this right before the closing body tag:

<html>
<script>
function runAfterLoad() {
}
... lots of stuff
</script>
<body>

... lots of stuff

<script>runAfterLoad();</script></body>
</html>

Checkout Dean Edwards' base2. It contains a minimal amount of code necessary to patch up browser differences and provide nice consistent interface as per the standards. The gzipped version is only 6k.
