        document.onDOMContentLoaded=function(){
            alert('aaaaaaaaaaaaaa');
        }
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="mydiv"></div>

    You should be binding to the event with addEventListener:

    document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
    alert('aaaaaaaaaaaaaa');
});

    Keep in mind that both addEventListener and DOMContentLoaded won’t work with IE8 and below.
