How to create a JavaScript callback for knowing when an image is loaded?

Question

I want to know when an image has finished loading. Is there a way to do it with a callback?

If not, is there a way to do it at all?

Answer 1

Here is jQuery equivalent:

var $img = $('img');

if ($img.length > 0 && !$img.get(0).complete) {
   $img.on('load', triggerAction);
}

function triggerAction() {
   alert('img has been loaded');
}
