domready.js

/**
 * domready.js
 * 
 * Cross browser mozilla's 'onDOMContentLoaded' implementation.
 * Executes a function when the dom tree is loaded without waiting for images.
 * 
 * Based on +Element.Events.domready+ from Mootools open source project, 
 * this tiny javascript library adds the emulated 'DOMContentLoaded' functionality.
 * 
 * Features:
 *   - No dependency on external libraries
 *   - Compatible with Prototype.js 
 * 
 * Tested browsers (Windows):
 *   - IE 7 (XP standalone)
 *   - IE 6 SP2
 *   - Firefox 2.0.0.4
 *   - Opera 9.21
 * 
 * Tested browsers (Mac OS X):
 *   - Safari 2.0.4
 *   - Firefox 2.0.0.4
 *   - Mac Opera 9.21
 *   - Mac IE 5.2.3
