It seems like onCreate only gets called like so in prototype:
Ajax.Responders.dispatch('onCreate', this, this.transport);
In other words, only the global responders will get it.
I'm with you though in wanting a reliable onCreate to happen before
looking at the readystate events.
I've been using onLoading for awhile, but I'm testing right now with a
local webserver and can actually reproduce the race condition whereby
onLoading gets triggered after onComplete by sticking console.debug(
event) on line 765 of prototype.js.
What is anyone else doing? I'm thinking of just adding a similar line of
code for onCreate like onComplete so that the instance of the
AjaxRequest can name it's own onCreate and the responders will still get
called. But I'd of course rather not edit prototype.js.
