Greasemonkey wait for delayed loaded content

[Ganesh Ranganathan]

Hi, In one of the sites I am trying to modify, the main content is
loaded through AJAX after the page has loaded. So my GM script is
firing before the content is loaded.

I tried to make it wait using setTimeout but it still doesnt seem to
work. Any ideas?

Thanks and Regards,
Ganesh Ranganathan

Pick an element of the main content that, if it exists, indicates to
you that the page has finished loading.

Use document.getElementByID, or ByName, or ByTagName, or some other
method to check for the existence of this element - if it does not exist
use setTimeout to wait for a second or so before retrying, and keep
retrying until it exists.
If/when it does exist, execute the rest of your script.

Use one of the events listed here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM_Events

I'd suggest using DOMSubtreeModified or DOMNodeInserted on an element which is changed after the AJAX content is loaded, this way your code is executed at the correct moment in time.

Thanks Erik and Vectorspace, I got it working now. But ran into
another problem with content that is delayed loaded.

I am using JQuery and binding the DOMNodeInserted event. In the event
handler I am trying to unbind it so it doesnt fire multiple times for
each inserted node. Yet the browser gets stuck in a recursion loop and
I have to end task it.

Any idea how to unbind the DOMNodeInserted event handler so it fires
just once.
