[jquery] why $(window).load() is not working in jQuery?

I'm learning jQuery using visual studio and testing my code in Chrome browser. This is my HTML code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <script src="jquery-3.1.0.js"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(window).load(function () {
            alert("Window Loaded");
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

This is my solution explorer

Now why my browser doesn't alert "window Loaded"?

This question is related to jquery

The answer is


in jquery-3.1.1

_x000D_
_x000D_
$("#id").load(function(){_x000D_
//code goes here});
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

will not work because load function is no more work


I have to write a whole answer separately since it's hard to add a comment so long to the second answer.

I'm sorry to say this, but the second answer above doesn't work right.

The following three scenarios will show my point:

Scenario 1: Before the following way was deprecated,

  $(window).load(function () {
     alert("Window Loaded.");
  });

if we execute the following two queries:

<script>
   $(window).load(function () {
     alert("Window Loaded.");
   }); 

   $(document).ready(function() {
     alert("Dom Loaded.");
   });
</script>,

the alert (Dom Loaded.) from the second query will show first, and the one (Window Loaded.) from the first query will show later, which is the way it should be.

Scenario 2: But if we execute the following two queries like the second answer above suggests:

<script>
   $(window).ready(function () {
     alert("Window Loaded.");
   }); 

   $(document).ready(function() {
     alert("Dom Loaded.");
   });
</script>,

the alert (Window Loaded.) from the first query will show first, and the one (Dom Loaded.) from the second query will show later, which is NOT right.

Scenario 3: On the other hand, if we execute the following two queries, we'll get the correct result:

<script>
   $(window).on("load", function () {
     alert("Window Loaded.");
   }); 

   $(document).ready(function() {
     alert("Dom Loaded.");
   });
</script>,

that is to say, the alert (Dom Loaded.) from the second query will show first, and the one (Window Loaded.) from the first query will show later, which is the RIGHT result.

In short, the FIRST answer is the CORRECT one:

$(window).on('load', function () {
  alert("Window Loaded.");
});

<script type="text/javascript">
   $(window).ready(function () {
      alert("Window Loaded");
   });
</script>
