Ruby Forum Rails Spinoffs (closed, excessive spam) > Page Loading Problem

I had this problem for some time where pages that use prototype will
not load completely some of the time. About 30% of the time, these
pages load everything, but the body onload event never fires and it
says 1 item remaining in the status bar. This appears to only be with
IE (ver7.) I've replaced the code in these pages with jquery as a
test, and I do not have this problem, so I know it's prototype. I'm
using 1.6.0.2. Has anyone seen this? I'd like to stay with prototype,
but if I can't fix this issue (it's been going on for months), I will
have to consider switching to jquery, as I can't locate the problem.

Here is a similar issue:

related to the document dom loaded detection for IE.

Thanks.
