What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Events and See Also

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

There is no indication that there is a load event, or when it might fire.

The link to "Ryan Grove's <script> and node event compatibility chart" (i.e. https://pie.gd/test/script-link-events/) is broken.

What did you expect to see?

I expected to see the load event documented. Although the load element is defined for all elements

• it is not listed on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement
• it seems to only fire for elements that have external content, and only when they are done loading

Given that, I think people are more likely to look for the event on the individual elements. For example, HTMLInputElement lists the input event.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

• https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/scripting.html#execute-the-script-block (step 8)
• https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/indices.html#event-load (in particular, the cross-references to that, which can be viewed by clicking on the event name)
• https://web.archive.org/web/20221015042641/https://pie.gd/test/script-link-events/

Do you have anything more you want to share?

The same is probably true of the other elements that can have a load event fired for them.
