Executing a static javascript function after every event

Hi,

is there any way to (automatically?) call a javascript function whenever something has happened in the view? Or at least when the view has changed.

I.e. I have a function that vertically resizes and positions elements on a page after checking the content, and I'd like it to update those every time the content has changed.

With <body onLoad="setY()">, it only works for the first view, "/" or "/frontpage/", but not the rest.

The html, head (and script), body tag, etc is located in a partial, _a.rhtml, that is in views/layouts and is used across the different views, like frontpage.rhtml, news.rhtml and so on.

Thanks, Bjørn

My Short Cut with O'Reilly describes how to abuse^W activate the prototype.js handlers like this:

  Ajax.Responders.register({ onComplete: function(request) {...} } )

Then detect your event type inside that handling method.
