Getting description content on load in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011

Currently when replying to an e-mail the description content is loaded before my JavaScript runs.

Is there a way to wait for the description to load, before JavaScript code is executed?

My code:

function test() {
var desc = xrm.Page.getAttribute("description").getValue();
alert(desc); //Nothing, since description loads after I get the value
}

I added this function to the on load event of my form.

Thanks for your time.

I solved the problem by checking if description is empty, and if it is, rerun the function.

function test() {
    if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("description").getValue() == "") {
        console.log("Description empty, rerunning in 1 second");
        setTimeout(function() {
            test();
        }, 1000);
    } else {
        console.log(Xrm.Page.getAttribute("description").getValue());
    }
}

According to this blog post you have to wait for the description to load fully. Just in the same way you have to wait for a subgrid to load before accessing it.
