I used to put ketchup on but Mrs. Fredd persuaded me it was as inappropriate as earlier posters suggest. 
She likes cooked onions (not saying that onions are exactly condiments) and I love raw onions, a taste sensation I first discovered as a kid at a hot dog stand in Pike Place Market on a gloomy October day in 1954.
Yellow mustard is all we add otherwise.
Afterthought: work2ly in the following post jogged my memory. Yes to sauerkraut as well. ^

In Chicago, your traditional Chicago hot dog with all of the fixings.
In Sweden, with sweet/spicy mustard and fried onions (if available). It should also be noted that the hot dog is traditionally longer than length of the bun.
In the US excluding Chicago, with BBQ sauce.

This brings up an interesting point and potential tangent. Around here we can get them steamed, grilled, split and griddled, deep fried and some kind of abomination usually found in gas station convenience stores that involves a rolling rack.
I prefer mine steamed with sauerkraut or split and griddled with vegetarian chili.

my go to hot dog spot here in Houston - http://gooddogfoodtruck.com/menu/ I usually end up with the Ole Zapata and the Sunshine dog, IF I make hot dogs at home it's usually yellow mustard and possibly cheese, if I get wild I'll throw some chili on there. I thought cream cheese on a hot dog was nuts, but it's hilariously good and if you're in Houston try gooddog as you will not be disappointed

I prefer to have mine grilled, unless it is a dirty water dog from a cart.
Otherwise, I dress up my weiner with sauerkraut and brown mustard, or onions in tomato sauce and brown mustard, or relish and brown mustard, or chili and brown mustard.
Never ever with tomatos, lettuce, pickle spears, raw onions, etc.

This makes for good reading:

The main problem is that modern ketchup is very sweet and throws off the balance of the assembled dog.

When our children were small, and we lived a couple of years in a tiny town in far West Texas, the school lunch menu on occasion included "Hot Dog Tacos."
A hotdog in a taco shell.
No condiments. Nothing.
:shudder: on several counts
