I have a working script but it gets executed first after the
page has finished loading all the images (which may take a
while). Since the script is placed in window.onload i
understand it has to wait for the loading to get done.
However, i wish to execute the script BEFORE all the
images had time to get loaded. Is that doable? How?

It depends on what is your script doing. If it addresses any page
elements, it will be a dice game (50/50 the requested element is
rendered or not). How?
Just insert your script at the point you want to start the execution.
<body>
......
<script type="text/javascript">
// your script
</script>

The thing is that i never execute the code. It is put in the
function "window.onl oad" and placed in the head of the
document. BUT the code is not executed "onload" as in
"as we get to the page" - it's more "onload" as in "when
we have finished downloading the whole thing".
The loading time is of importance here since the browser
loads about 100 images. I wish to do a thing BEFORE all
the images have been loaded.
Did i make myself more clear or confused even more? :)
Here's an example. Try to scroll a bit, exit, then come
back again to the page and you'll be automatically scrolled
to the position you were at when you left.
The issue is that you have to wait until all the images has
been loaded, which takes a while. http://www.viltersten.com/sve/files/elvis.htm

I think that your problem is loading the external images. It takes too
much time to load all the images from another site and its still
loading :)
You can load the images after loading the page with XMLHttpRequest( )...
that you will execute your script after loading the page.

That's generally how the load event is interpreted.
The loading time is of importance here since the browser
loads about 100 images. I wish to do a thing BEFORE all
the images have been loaded.
Then include the SCRIPT element as the last child of the BODY element.
The script will be parsed and executed more-or-less when the entire
document has been loaded, irrespective of whether the images have been
downloaded.

Hmmm... I simply didn't think of it. I'll try that and we'll
see what will happen.
Thanks to both of you, guys.

I think what VK was saying here is essentially valid:
Since you want the code executed after the HTML has been loaded, but
not necessarily waiting for all referenced objects to be loaded (i.e.
pictures, sounds), just put the code at the bottom of the document.
</body>
<script> ... </script>
</html>
And don't use onLoad -- just execute the code yourself, within that
<script /> element.

More predictable results would likely be achieved by avoiding a
dependency on browser error-correction, so using valid HTML:-
<script type="text/javascript"> ... </script>
</body>
</html>
Where the script element has the required type attribute and appears in
a context in which script elements are allowed.

Intended to relate the basic idea only. You'll notice it was very
clearly a fragment. As well, if someone grabs code from anywhere and
doesn't adapt it to his own needs / desires, he's making his own bed,
no?
I shouldn't have posted at all, but Google Groups didn't show me the
two preceding posts until I'd already posted mine. Surprise surprise.

For God's sake, Google Groups sucks... it didn't show me the two posts

Hi everyone,
I'm writing a function (in javascript) that needs to do one thing if
the page has not loaded, and another (different) thing if the page has
already loaded.
I'm looking for a way to tell if the window.onload event has already
fired. I cannot edit the onload event handler itself, and my function
can only exist in an external js file, sourced from the document's
head section. Any ideas?

I would like to open a child window from the parent, and add an onload
