Window: DOMContentLoaded event
The DOMContentLoaded
event fires when the initial HTML document has been completely loaded and parsed, without waiting for stylesheets, images, and subframes to finish loading.

The original target for this event is the Document
that has loaded. You can listen for this event on the Window
interface to handle it in the capture or bubbling phases. For full details on this event please see the page on the Document: DOMContentLoaded
event.
A different event, load
, should be used only to detect a fully-loaded page. It is a common mistake to use load
where DOMContentLoaded
would be more appropriate.
Examples
Basic usage
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', (event) => {
console.log('DOM fully loaded and parsed');
});
