jQuery attach function to 'load' event of an element
- by Miguel Ping
Hi,
I want to attach a function to a jQuery element that fires whenever the element is added to the page.
I've tried the following, but it didn't work:
var el = jQuery('<h1>HI HI HI</H1>');
el.one('load', function(e) {
window.alert('loaded');
});
jQuery('body').append(el);
What I really want to do is to guarantee that another jQuery function that is expecting some #id to be at the page don't fail, so I want to call that function whenever my element is loaded in the page.
To clarify, I am passing the el element to another library (in this case it's a movie player but it could be anything else) and I want to know when the el element is being added to the page, whether its my movie player code that it is adding the element or anyting else.
