Answer 1

The DOMContentLoaded event is fired when the initial HTML document has been completely loaded and parsed, without waiting for stylesheets, images, and subframes to finish loading.Good thing is chrome, firefox, IE9, opera and safari supports it equally

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) 
{
    console.log("DOM fully loaded and parsed");
}

NOTE : Internet Explorer 8 supports the readystatechange event, which can be used to detect when the DOM is ready.
