I have a beautiful background image on a website which unfortunately takes a while to load. The rest of my page is driven by a function that is called when the body loads like so:

<body onLoad="initialise()">
      ...

Because of this, my browser is waiting for the background to fully load before calling initialise(). How can i either call initialise() before the page fully loads or at least before the background image does.

Thank you for your time 🙂

    If you need to wait til the page is ready, try using jQuery’s ready event instead:

    <script type='text/javascript'>jQuery(document).ready(initialise)</script>
    

    This will run before images are loaded, but will wait for all HTML.
