.load()

Syntax

.load(handler)

Parameters

handler: A function to execute when the event is triggered

Return value

The jQuery object, for chaining purposes.

Description

Bind an event handler to the load JavaScript event.

This method is a shortcut for .bind('load', handler).

The load event is sent to an element when it and all its sub-elements have been completely loaded.

For example, consider a page with a simple image as follows:

 
<img src="book.png" alt="Book" id="book" />

The event handler can be bound to the image.


$('#book').load(function() {
 $.print('called.');
});

As soon as the image has been loaded, the called will be printed.
