How to wait for jQuery's load function to render loaded content before executing callback function

I am using jQuery's load function to re开发者_运维百科nder some of my content when the document is ready.

$(document).ready(function(){
   $('#header').load('header.html',function() {
      //do call back function});
   $('#footer').load('footer.html');
});

I don't want my callback function to execute when the request completes, but rather when the loaded content (or dom?) is ready to be manipulated. How can I do this?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure your looking to do something after the Window is loaded, not the DOM.

If you have some code the relies on reading the heights and widths of things like images, (document).ready will not work because it is run before the images have been loaded. I've had this problem before when trying to render RSS feeds on a page.

This is the code to do something after the window is loaded:

jQuery(window).load(function() {
    //Do something after the window is loaded!
});

From what I understand the problem here is that the callback gets called as soon as the data is received rather than when the browser has finished rendering it. This is a problem if your callback relies on style properties as one example.

My solution has been to hide the parent node before loading, then adding in a slight delay before showing it again, with a callback placed on the show method.

$('#header').hide().load('header.html').delay(1).show(0, function(){
    //callback statements
});

So this works but isn't bulletproof as we don't know exactly how long the content will take to render.
