Question

My problem is quite simple, i would like to preload pages before showing them in a div

i’ve got a main div in my index page :#data_div

i load pages with lot of images into that Div … (not only images, lot of markup too)

i use another div to preload the page, that div is not visible (but not hidden neither to keep good formatting of data loaded ) : #data_loading ;

i use a div for loading symbol :#wait_div

i think i need the ajax equivalent of JQUERY load (event, not load method )
but i can’t set this event to a div (…) so i need another solution

        $.address.change(function(event) {
                    $("#wait_div").show();

                    if(event.value == "/") {
                        $.address.value("index.php");
                    } else if(event.value.substr(1, 5) == "Datas") {
                        $("#data_loading").load(event.value, {
                            'ajax' : 'true'
                        },function(){

    /* i would like that this occur only when the page is fully loaded 
(including image and scripts) inside the temp div */
                           $("#data_div").children().remove();
                           $("#wait_div").hide();
                           $("#data_loading").children().appendTo($("#data_div")).fadeIn(1000);
                                //alert("done");
                            });
                        });
                    }
                });

Check this answer to my question

Thant’s how you know when all images are loaded you can give a class to the images inside your temp div and do something like this in your new page:

  $(document).ready(function(){
    var imgs = $("img.tempDivImages"), cnt = imgs.length;

    imgs
    .load(function(){
      if(!--cnt) {
        /* all images loaded */
        /* now call the function you want when everything is loaded*/
      }
    })
    .error(function() { /* whoops an image failed to load */});
  });

This is how you get to calla function or do something when everything inside your temp div is loaded.
