I have seen a few times that some are not putting code in $(document).ready, so are sometimes asking why their code does not work, e.g. you may see this ... <script type="text/javascript"> $("#mydiv").slideDown(); </script> </head> <body> <div id="mydiv">...
Would it be possible for jQuery to delay execution if no element is matched and the page isn't fully loaded? That way #myDiv will slide down as expected.
I disagree. There are times, albeit rare ones, when you want to do some things before the document is ready. Any attempt to do so, however, should console.log a warning, because that's not what you want most of the time.

That's why I suggested only to wait if the element is not found. So with the following, the div is slid down before the document is ready:

John actually had some code that did just that. But in most cases it works around a programming error that should be fixed instead, therefore it never got to wider public. The additional code and possible performance lost isn't really worth it.

Let me guess - was it Internet Explorer that proved to be troublesome? Using setInterval is the only way I can think of for doing this (but could slow down the browser if there is lots of code calling it).
