This works as expected, calling the function immediately if the ready event has already passed:

$(document).ready(function() {alert('hi');});

But this does not work in my web page on page reload:

$(document).bind('ready.label', function() {alert('hi');});

On my initial page launch it works (most likely because the ready event hasn't "fired" yet?). But on reload, when stuff happens faster because nothing has to be re-downloaded, it just sits there and stares at me. I am using FireFox 3.6.16.

I created a jsFiddle for this, but it doesn't have the problem, most likely because the page is too simple. I put the source of the iframe from jsFiddle into a static html page on my web server and reloads always worked fine. So that is no help to figuring out the problem, sorry about that.

However, please believe me that my application does not work on reload when I use bind and it DOES work when I use ready, the ONLY change between working and not working.
