Question

Is there a way to check if jQuery fired the page load events yet, or do you have to roll your own? I need to alter the behavior of links, but I don’t want to wait until the page finishes loading because the user could conceivably click on a link on, say, the top half of the page before the page finishes loading. Right now I’m doing it like this:

var pageLoaded = false;
$(function() {
  pageLoaded = true;
});

function changeLinks() {
  $("a[data-set-already!='true']").each(function() {
    $(this).attr("data-set-already", "true").click(...);
  }); 
  // Is there something along the lines of jQuery.pageWasLoaded that I can
  // use instead?
  if (!pageLoaded) {
    window.setTimeout(changeLinks, 100);
  }
}
changeLinks(); // Added per @jondavidjohn's question

Since you are using the document ready shorthand, I’m guessing you mean when the dom is loaded. For this:

$.isReady
