jquery html callback

Question

Is there a callback for the html() function or a way to check that it is finished. For example:

$(\"#some_div\").html(\'something here\');

if($(\"#some_div\         


        

Answer 1

Hopefully somebody has a better solution than myself. A quick workaround is to use setTimeout() to delay your next calls, giving your HTML block enough time to load (since the load time is so miniscule).

$('#some_div').html('
some content
');
// set timeout for 250 milliseconds
setTimeout(callbackFunction, 250);

function callbackFunction() {
    // do some cool sh*t
}

Note, however, that if you wanted to pass any variables to your function, you could do the following:

$('#some_div').html('
some content
');
// set timeout for 250 milliseconds
var myParam = 'value';
setTimeout(function() { callbackFunction(myParam); }, 250);

function callbackFunction(myParam) {
    // do some cool sh*t
    alert(myParam);
}
