Question

Is it possible to know when a page has loaded using location.href? My current code looks like this and I want to trigger some events to happen once my page has finished loading. I tried using $.get but it breaks my current implementation of jquery address so this won’t work.

$('.search').click(function(){
    location.href = "/search.php"; 
    // trigger event here...
    return false;
});

This will NOT work for my current setup:

$.get('search.php', function() {
    alert('Page has finished loading');
});

Are there any other options?

Answer 1

Have you tried this:

$(document).ready(function () {
  alert('Page has finished loading');
});
