Javascript DOM ready without an entire framework

Question

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 http://dean.edwards.name/weblog/2006/06/again/ ? Specifically [this comment](http://dean.edwards.name/weblog/2006/06/again/#comment367184). Its not plug'n'play ready...but it shouldn't be too hard to set up. — David Murdoch, Apr 28 '10 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. — cgp, Apr 28 '10 at 18:55

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". – James Hughes Aug 11 '10 at 13:41

The very minimal core + domready extension are 8K uncompressed and unminified. – Marc Bouvier May 09 '11 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.

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.
