What is the difference between $(window).load() and $(document).ready() functions in jQuery?
Both the methods are used in jQuery. Let’s see what purpose they fulfill.
$(window).load()
The code which gets included inside $( window ).on( "load", function() { ... }) runs only once the entire page is ready (not only DOM).
Note: The load() method deprecated in jQuery version 1.8. It was completely removed in version 3.0. To see its working, add jQuery version for CDN before 3.0.
$(document).ready()
The ready() method is used to make a function available after the document is loaded. Whatever code you write inside the $( document ).ready() method will run once the page DOM is ready to execute JavaScript code.
You can try to run the following code to learn how to use to use $(document).ready() in jQuery:
<html>
<head>
<title>jQuery Function</title>
<script src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("div").click(function() {
alert("Hi!");
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id = "mydiv">
