I think this has been discussed before. It’s not the caching per se that is the problem but the timing: the images may already have been loaded by the time the event handler is attached (so it never gets fired). This may also occur if no caching happens, for example in a multithreaded browser on a very fast connection. Fortunately, there is a property .complete
that you can use:
var load_handler = function() {
loadedImages++;
…
}
$(this).find('img').filter(function() {
return this.complete;
}).each(load_handler).end().load(load_handler);
You can also create your own event attach function:
jQuery.fn.extend({
ensureLoad: function(handler) {
return this.each(function() {
if(this.complete) {
handler.call(this);
} else {
$(this).load(handler);
}
});
}
});
And then call it as follows:
$(this).find('img').ensureLoad(function(){
loadedImages++;
if(loadedImages == $this.find('img').length){
…
});
