Fire an event after preloading images

Question

This is the code I use to preload images, I\'m not sure if it\'s the best one. My question is, how can I fire and event, for an example alert(); dialog after is has finished

Answer 1

I've seen something used to correct behavior on Masonry nice jQuery plugin (a plugin used to make nice layout composition on pages). This plugin had problems with blocks containing images and should delay his work when the images are loaded.

First solution is to delay on the onLoad event instead of document.ready. But this event can be quite long to wait for. So they use jquery.imagesloaded.js which can detect that all images in a div are loaded; especially this very short and nice code can handle cached images which does not fire the load event sometimes.
