Well, that's why I include JS files at the bottom of my HTML body, to make sure to avoid exactly this problem: https://github.com/yawaramin/dream-html-ui/blob/92f2dfc51b75...

One drawback.

► execute <script> at bottom of file

► execute <script defer>

Both do the same; they execute script after DOM was parsed. When your JS creates GUI you now have to battle FOUCs.

► "import" loads your script async

so it _could_ load before _all_ DOM has parsed... but 9999 out of 10000 scenarios it won't

That's why my JS doesn't create the GUI, it just attaches event handlers to the GUI rendered on the server. Check the link I posted above...
