[...] YUI Version 2.2.1 released, about window.onload, onDOMReady, onAvailable, and onContentReady. Execute JavaScript when the DOM loads (and before everything else too). It also provides the onAvailable event, which fires when a specified DOM node loads, and the onContentReady event, which fires when a specified DOM node, plus all its children, load.

I’d always assumed using something like YAHOO.util.Event.onAvailable(‘body’, init); would run the init code when the became available (providing it has an ID of body).

Is this not the case? Would that code wait for images to be downloaded?

I made a long investigation into onDOMReady and onDOMReady is not an unqualified solution. It has problems now in some strange cases and there is no guarantee that it will work at all in the future. In fact, it should not work in the future if the browsers make good changes. The window.onload problem (still)

In both FF and IE, you can set “default” background colors, but allow pages to override those choices (you can also set those colors to never be overridden, but don’t have to). The YUI site makes a lot of color choices that assume a white background (like orange headers), but don’t explicitly set a white background. So I could have an orange background (that I don’t mind is overridden) that would made the headers virtually invisible.

Accessibility-wise, I think it’s important to set a background color whenever a foreground color is set.

@Michael S.,
Your request makes sense. I’ll explore making archives available going forward.

@Kelson,
Doh! You’re right: 2.0.0.4 was in my brain to be the *next* one not the current one. I’ll get that cleaned up in our next push.

@VM,
You’re setting a background color through a user style sheet? If not, how? We generally try to avoid overwriting user’s explicit choices. Perhaps I’m misunderstanding?

Thanks,
Nate

Putting similar policies and processes in place for any design and development environment, large or small, would be a monumental step forward for not only the cause of standards, but improving the quality of the Firefox itself.
