Image does not have width at document.ready

I have a function that I wish to use to resize images:

http://jsfiddle.net开发者_Python百科/eUurB/

When I run it on document.ready, it has no effect; the image size returned is '0' (You may notice that it does work in the fiddle... I'm not sure what's causing this inconsistencty to be honest, but on my test site it's most definitely returning height and width of '0'.

Is this expected behaviour? If so, how could I make a simple listener for when images have width?

Here's an ultra-safe way to do it that doesn't require waiting for all the images to load, and takes care of situations where the image may be cached or finished loading before the DOM is ready.

$('#my_img').one('load',function(){
    resizeImgByArea('logo', 50);
})
  .filter(function(){
     return this.complete;
})
  .load();

• .one('load',...) removes the handler as soon as it is invoked. You only need it once.

• .filter() will return the image if it was already loaded. If not, it returns no elements.

• .load() will manually invoke the handler. This will only occur if the image was already loaded.

So if the image was preloaded before the DOM was ready, we'll invoke its .load() handler manually. If not, its handler will be invoked when it is loaded.

From the jQuery docs on the jQuery(callback) method:

This function behaves just like $(document).ready()

And when we go to the docs on $(document).ready(), we find this:

Description: Specify a function to execute when the DOM is fully loaded.

So it's actually doing what it's supposed to. It isn't waiting for other resources (such as images) to load; it's executing your callback as soon as the DOM is ready.

You could get that <img> element and attach a load event listener, but what if the image really did finish loading, before you could attach it? Your callback will never be executed.

It's not pretty, but I think the safest thing you can do is just wait for the entire page to finish loading:

$(window).load(function () {
    resizeImgByArea('logo', 50);
});

Images are not loaded at document.ready time. Instead use the .load() method of jQuery.

$('#logo').load( function() {
    resizeImgByArea('logo', 500);
});
