jQuery setTimeout delay for an element

Is there an easier way to wait for an element to load ( by independant script/mootools/other ). For example:

I am waiting for a google map to load, but I don't want to use its API for checks. So I made two functions:

function checkIfexist() {
    if(jQuery('#container').length)
        return 0;
    else
        reload(1);
}

function reload(mode) {
    setTimeout(function(){
        do stuff
            .
            .
            .
        if(mode==1)
            checkIfexist();
    }, 400);
}

I am starting it with reload(1); Is there an easier way to use setTimeout in such a way? I don't want to use delay, wait or whatever.

.ajaxStop() fires when all concurrent ajax requests have finished, so you can just use it directly, for example:

$(function(){
    $(document).ajaxStop(function() {
        // all ajax is done
    });
});
