jqueryHow do I use the jQuery window load function?


The jQuery window load function is used to execute code after the page has finished loading. This can be useful for making sure that all of the content on the page is available before the code is executed.

Example code

$(window).load(function(){
  alert("Page has finished loading!");
});

Output example

Page has finished loading!
