Different types of ready The old method I shared used addEventListener() to detect when the document was ready. Today, I wanted to share an approach that detects DOM ready state faster using the requestAnimationFrame() method that we looked at yesterday. It’s one of the most popular articles on my site. ready() method is typically used with an anonymous function: $(document). A couple of years ago, I shared a native equivalent of jQuery’s ready() method. ready() method can only be called on a jQuery object matching the current document, so the selector can be omitted. See Also: Delay Function Execution With The delayDo jQuery Plugin Trigger Events After A Delay. This jQuery plugin avoid this problem by delaying the expected event handler to wait until the given time has elapsed. bind("ready") the bound handler will not be executed. jQuery's event system makes it easy to write handler functions that run too soon and fire again before the glue is available. This behaves similarly to the ready method but with one exception: If the ready event has already fired and you try to. There is also $(document).bind("ready", handler).
#JQUERY RUN AS SOON AS ELEMENT AVAILABLE CODE#
In cases where code relies on loaded assets (for example, if the dimensions of an image are required), the code should be placed in a handler for the load event instead.

When using scripts that rely on the value of CSS style properties, it's important to reference external stylesheets or embed style elements before referencing the scripts.

ready() is guaranteed to be executed after the DOM is ready, so this is usually the best place to attach all other event handlers and run other jQuery code. In most cases, the script can be run as soon as the DOM hierarchy has been fully constructed. While JavaScript provides the load event for executing code when a page is rendered, this event does not get triggered until all assets such as images have been completely received.
