Javascript: Search for HTML tags

Everyone:

I have been looking high and low for an answer to my following question, possibly not looking in the right places, but I am hoping someone out there can point me in the right direction.

Here's my situation: What I need is to be able to search through the source code of a HTML page for the ending </HTML> tag using Javascript. The reason being is that I want to verify that a page has been fully loaded(basically a preview of the page) before I upload its content to my website (via FTP).

I don't want to use the "onLoad" method in Javascript because that would mean that I have to hardcode it into my HTML, and it causes alot of headaches for my overall program.

Is there any method/way of searching through an open browser window's source could and checking for the </HTML> tag? I was looking into the "find" method (which doesn't work in IE)the "search" method, or the "toString" method, but can't seem to find any examples of what I would like to accomplish.

Could someone help me out? Thanks so much in advance.

Shawn

For that I would use sometihng like this:

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">

var t = ""; // get document html here
alert(t.indexOf("</html>"));

</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>test</h1>
</body>
</html>

I'm not too sure how to get the HTML of the entire page though...
