$(document).ready equivalent without jQuery

I know you can use the window.onload event to make functions run, but is there a way for a script to query if the document is ready or not?

Something like

function update()

{

    if( !document.ready() )  // don't do unless document loaded

        return ;

}

window.setInterval( 'update();', 100 ) ;

Cannot change the <body> element, and no jQuery/other libraries.

Here you go:

var tid = setInterval( function () {

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

    clearInterval( tid );       

    // do your work

}, 100 );

Read about the document.readyState property here. I am not sure if all current browsers implement it.
