How can I check if a background image is loaded?

Question

I want to set a background image on the body tag, then run some code - like this:

$(\'body\').css(\'background-image\',\'http://picture.de/image.png\').load(         


        

Answer 1

try this:

$('').attr('src', 'http://picture.de/image.png').on('load', function() {
   $(this).remove(); // prevent memory leaks as @benweet suggested
   $('body').css('background-image', 'url(http://picture.de/image.png)');
});

this will create new image in memory and use load event to detect when the src is loaded.
