That really depends on the browser. Chrome and Firefox progressively render the webpage as it loads, even if HTML hasn't been completely sent. This will be happening before either of those events are triggered.

onload will always fire after DOMContentLoaded, so if you want the earliest event, use DOMContentLoaded.

ok, thanks . Can I say for most browserｓ, after the event DOMContentLoaded is triggered, user will be able to see the page framework? – vancewang Aug 18 '13 at 11:09
