$(document).ready() fires after images load in IE

[tommcfarlin]

In IE, $(document).ready() fires after images are fully loaded. This was not a problem in version 1.2.6.

Example code:

$(function() {

$('container').children('img').each(function() {

$(this).hide();

});

});

In IE7 with 1.2.6, all images will be hidden before the page loads. With 1.3, images load _then_ then the ready event fires.

Its a Bug in IE6 and IE7. Here's an example:  http://www.kollermedia.at/jquery_bug.html

This was due to #2614 and #3880 - there were definite problems with the code in 1.2.6, in 1.3 - and now a different set of problems in 1.3.1.

I just landed a fix for this in SVN rev [6170].

I just pushed up a new nightly that you can use until 1.3.2 final comes out.  http://code.jquery.com/nightlies/jquery-2009-01-28.js

I'm seeing this issue as resurfaced with safari 4, correct me if i'm wrong.

drewcovi, do you have a test case?

[drewcovi]

@dmethvin:

seems like I can only replicate it on a "page reload" situation. if we need a test case for this circumstance I certainly can make one. I would say its a low priority bug as refreshing a page will cause the behavior but is not as common.

thoughts? I'm willing to create the testcase if we think this is a valid concern.

The reported problem (in IE with 1.3.1) was fixed and closed. If you are seeing a similar problem with Safari you'd like to report go ahead and make that test case and open a new ticket. As for me, if it is some timing issue in the page load where you have to click reload to get it to happen I suspect it would be low priority as well.
