The event "dom:loaded" is added by Prototype specifically so you don't
have to wait for the entire page to fully load. The event get fired just
after the DOM is fully loaded, but before any other page assets are
loaded. This is usually what you want, but not always. If you really
want to wait for the entire page to load then use the window "load"
event which is what you are showing above.

Also see http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/205708#new where I explained a
few other problems I saw with your script.

I want to also make clear that you must include the Prototype JavaScript
files in order to use any of the Prototype features. Maybe you're doing
that and not showing it here, but just want to make sure you understand
that.
