DIV onload ?

[hash4sp]

Hi folks,

How can I do something as follows:

<div id='resultDIV' onload='funcX()'></div>

Here, I want to trigger funcX(), when some text is loaded in the div's innerHTML dynamically.

Through jquery I tried the following, but unsuccessfull.

$("#resultsDIV").load(function() {
    alert("The div has been loaded.");
});

best regards

There is no onload event for divs

This is straight from the jquery site for the load()
"This event can be sent to any element associated with a URL: images, scripts, frames, iframes, and the window object."

I am sure there is an alternate solution for your problem if you could explain it with a little more detail.

You could implement something like JQuery to do this.

Since you are using jQuery, you can make use of their .bind() and .trigger() methods.

i.e.

<script>$(document).bind('divIsReady', function() {
  alert('Div is ready');
});</script>

...

<div id="the-div">Content</div>
<script>$(document).trigger('divIsReady');</script>

This is useful for when you need certain things to be handled before the rest of the page is loaded.
