link element onload

Question

Is there anyway to listen to the onload event for a element?

F.ex:

var link = document.createElement(\'link\');
link.rel =

Another way to do this is to check how many style sheets are loaded. For instance:

With "css_filename" the url or filename of the css file, and "callback" a callback function when the css is loaded:

var style_sheets_count=document.styleSheets.length;
var css = document.createElement('link');
css.setAttribute('rel', 'stylesheet');
css.setAttribute('type', 'text/css');
css.setAttribute('href', css_filename);
document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0).appendChild(css);
include_javascript_wait_for_css(style_sheets_count, callback, new Date().getTime());

function include_javascript_wait_for_css(style_sheets_count, callback, starttime)
/* Wait some time for a style sheet to load.  If the time expires or we succeed
 *  in loading it, call a callback function.
 * Enter: style_sheet_count: the original number of style sheets in the
 *                           document.  If this changes, we think we finished
 *                           loading the style sheet.
 *        callback: a function to call when we finish loading.
 *        starttime: epoch when we started.  Used for a timeout. 12/7/11-DWM */
{  
   var timeout = 10000; // 10 seconds
   if (document.styleSheets.length!=style_sheets_count || (new Date().getTime())-starttime>timeout)
      callback();
   else
      window.setTimeout(function(){include_javascript_wait_for_css(style_sheets_count, callback, starttime)}, 50);
}
