• window.onload waits for images. That's why jQuery jumps through the loops to provide you the ready event – John Dvorak Commented Feb 12, 2013 at 19:40

• @JanDvorak; It means jQuery ready waits for images??? – Taron Mehrabyan Commented Feb 12, 2013 at 19:42
• 1 @TaronPro No. He's saying that jQuery (and most other frameworks) endeavor to provide developers with an "onReady" event that fires when DOM is ready -- which is quite different from when the images are loaded. Javascript needs the DOM, it doesn't need the images. – Chris Baker Commented Feb 12, 2013 at 19:44
• 1 Am I the only one here to see that the OP is talking about an ajax call? – Christophe Commented Feb 12, 2013 at 20:00

it does include all webpage's resource's load - more information here: https://developer.mozilla/en/docs/DOM/window.onload

Yep, in short it waits for whole visual content to e together, it will trigger after the pletion of the load of all the images, all the frames and their contents.
