Before messing with the DOM (document.[...]), it might be smart to wait for the HTML doc to be fully parsed and the DOM tree to be fully built. This can be achieved as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
function my_dom_manipulator1() { ... }
function my_dom_manipulator2() { ... }
function my_dom_manipulator3() { ... }
// Execute our snippets after the page is parsed.
var old_onload = window.onload;
window.onload = function() {
if (old_onload != null)
old_onload();
my_dom_manipulator1();
my_dom_manipulator2();
my_dom_manipulator3();
};
</script>
For an example of where this makes a difference, refer to Free Nodelet Hack: Nodelets on the left.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
