Need? [You would like, I suppose]

Show us your relevant code.

What do you mean by loading in the context of innerHTML?

You can always use a global variable and use setInterval to check if
the variable has changed status. I assume here that you are using
asynchronous javascript call (AJAX).

Example:

<script>
var g_writing_done = false;

// check every 2 seconds
var g_interv_1 = setInterval(check_writing, 2000);

function check_writing()
{
if( g_writing_done )
{
// innerHTML writing is completed
...

// clear the interval to stop it executing
clearInterval(g_interv_1);
}
}
</script>

There is no built in way that I know of. But then as someone here has
pointed out, show us more code.

If an asynchronous XML HTTP request would be used, there was no need for
window.setInterval().

Example:

<script>

The `type' attribute is required:

var g_writing_done = false;

// check every 2 seconds
var g_interv_1 = setInterval(check_writing, 2000);

This will break in IE < 5.0.

setInterval() is a method of Window objects and should be referred
to as such. A previous feature test on runtime is obligatory.

And if something more reliable is used then an XMLHTTPRequest object is
not needed.

The `type' attribute is required:

<script type="text/javascript">

And totally 100% irrelevant.

Who in there right mind gives a crap about IE4? Well, other than JRS.

Nonsense. Name a browser that doesn't support setInterval.

I'd be more than happy if anyone show me the error of my way by giving
me some useful information/explanation. Just stop stalking my post to
say retarded stupid thing like:

I said useful information, not some mumbo jumbo irrelevant stupid
argument crap that in the end turned out to be wrong as pointed out by
another person in this thread. Ironic really, after all that big talk
of yours.
