JQuery pre document ready event?

$(document).ready() will be executed as soon as the DOM has finished loading (ie, before all the images have finished downloading, but as soon as all the html for your page has finished loading). Eg $(document). Ready(function(){ // do someting as soon as the document is ready, // possibly before the images are loaded }) If you want to do something after all the images have finished loading, then you need to use the onload event, like so $(window).

Bind('load', function() { // Do something when the images have finished loading }) If you want a script to execute now now now, at the point it appears in the html document, then don't use any of the "ready" functions. Just do it right there are then script> // code that you want to execute as soon as the browsers finds this bit of your doc. // note that you won't be able to access the DOM as it may not all be present.

Does it matter if the document ready event is inside or outside the ASP. NET form? Tried removing the document ready bit from around my calls, but didn't look to change anything.

– Luke Duddridge May 20 '10 at 11:29 Thanks for the replies, have been playing around and think it may be the js taking a bit longer to download (due to the number of images, the lightbox js may be a bit heavy too). Thanks all. I'll mark this as the correct answer and give you all an up for you time.

Cheers – Luke Duddridge May 20 '10 at 12:09 @Luke, you can put $(document).ready() calls anywhere in the page (though they have to be after jquery is included). You can also include as many $(document).ready() calls as you like. They are all saved up and execute when the complete html page has finished downloading.

JQuery docs explain it quite well: api.jquery. Com/ready – rikh May 20 '10 at 13:49.

I would try the lazyload-plugin so the page can be loaded completely and fire the $(document).ready() before all the images are loaded, and you can than download all the images after that.

As rikh and Jens have mentioned, you can use the ready() event to fire the code before the thumbnails are loaded. However, you mention IE, which means you might already be using this event but fails in that browser (it might, as IE6/7 don't really have the event and jQuery either tries to detect it by other means or use load, I don't know). If that's the situation, forget about the $(document).load()/$(document).ready() event, and insert the code in the html, just after the last link has been rendered.

Something like: (...) // List of thumbnails and links This way, the browser will attach the events related to the lightbox just as the HTML links have been created, not having to wait for the dom/html to load before they start working. The important thing to remember is that, in the HTML, before the tag, all the tags and elements needed by the script must have been rendered, and the necessary js libraries must have been referenced.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
