I've never heard of this before - putting your code at the end of a body is a foolproof way to do it. Having the event fire early in IE6 has to do with how the server is configured (if it's a long page and 'chunking' is turned on - IE6 will cause the ready event to fire early). As you mentioned, however, this is already fixed in SVN and will also be included in jQuery 1.2.2. --John
