[removed]how to write $(document).ready like event without jquery

Question

in jquery $(document).ready(function) or $(function) , how could I do the same thing without jquery, and I need browser compatiable, and allow to attach more than one functi

This is the way jQuery wraps the functions you're looking for - the snippet does not need jQuery, and is cross-browser compatible. I've replaced all calls to jQuery.ready() with yourcallback - which you need to define.

What goes on in here:

• first, the function DOMContentLoaded is defined, which will be used when the DOMContentLoaded event fires - it ensures that the callback is only called once.
• a check if the document is already loaded - if yes, fire the callback right away
• otherwise sniff for features (document.addEventListener / document.attachEvent) and bind the callbacks to it (different for IE and normal browsers, plus the onload callback)

Lifted from jQuery 1.4.3, functions bindReady() and DOMContentLoaded:

/*

// Cleanup functions for the document ready method
// attached in the bindReady handler
if ( document.addEventListener ) {
DOMContentLoaded = function() {
    document.removeEventListener( "DOMContentLoaded", DOMContentLoaded, false );
    //jQuery.ready();
            yourcallback();
};

} else if ( document.attachEvent ) {
DOMContentLoaded = function() {
    // Make sure body exists, at least, in case IE gets a little overzealous 
            if ( document.readyState === "complete" ) {
        document.detachEvent( "onreadystatechange", DOMContentLoaded );
        //jQuery.ready();
                    yourcallback();
    }
    };
}

// Catch cases where $(document).ready() is called after the
// browser event has already occurred.
if ( document.readyState === "complete" ) {
    // Handle it asynchronously to allow scripts the opportunity to delay ready
//return setTimeout( jQuery.ready, 1 );
    // ^^ you may want to call *your* function here, similarly for the other calls to jQuery.ready
    setTimeout( yourcallback, 1 );
}

// Mozilla, Opera and webkit nightlies currently support this event
if ( document.addEventListener ) {
    // Use the handy event callback
document.addEventListener( "DOMContentLoaded", DOMContentLoaded, false );
// A fallback to window.onload, that will always work
//window.addEventListener( "load", jQuery.ready, false );
    window.addEventListener( "load", yourcallback, false );
 // If IE event model is used
 } else if ( document.attachEvent ) {
        // ensure firing before onload,
        // maybe late but safe also for iframes
        document.attachEvent("onreadystatechange", DOMContentLoaded);

        // A fallback to window.onload, that will always work
        window.attachEvent( "onload", yourcallback );

 }

That's 51 lines of pure JavaScript code, just to register the event reliably. As far as I know, there is no easier method. Goes to show what the wrappers like jQuery are good for: they wrap the capability sniffing and ugly compatibility issues so that you can focus on something else.
