Details

(Whiteboard: [PL2:NA])

The bug is opened to track the general problem of inline scripts or those from onLoad that run and try to access the plugin before it is instantiated or ready. For example, a plugin could spin a thread in its initilization and expect script not to access it until done. The Java plugin has this problem and its being tracked in bug 115998. Also, in the case that the ActiveX plugin has to download a control, it would be nice if it had some way to delay script untill the control was installed rather than blocking while downloading. That is an offshoot from bug 173108.
