Description

I am developing a large RIA application that loads many javascript and CSS files into a very large DOM. In IE6 and IE7, jQuery is firing the ready event when the document goes to 'interactive' state rather than waiting for 'complete' state.

I believe that the problem is with the following line of code (at line 1500 in 1.1.2 uncompressed revision 1465):

if ( this.readyState != "complete" ) return;

Here, 'this' refers to the script tag which ''does'' have a state of 'complete', however the debugger shows that 'document.readyState' still has the state 'interactive.'

When I change this line to read:

if ( document.readyState != "complete" ) return;

Then the problems that I am seeing in my code go away.

Ok, so this fixed the problem, but actually made document ready fire far too late, this needs to be resolved.
