Difference Between Jquery $(window).load Vs Window.onload

I have the following code: function initialize() { var mapOptions = { center: new google.maps.LatLng(53.743317, -0.331004), zoom: 12 }; var map = new google.maps.Map(

Solution 1:

You haven't actually invoked loadScript in the $(window).load() version - you've just created a "void" expression that evaluates to a reference to that function.

Do either:

$(window).load(function() {
     loadScript();  // NB: parentheses
})

or:

$(window).load(loadScript);

That said, you perhaps want $(document).ready() rather than $(window).load()

Solution 2:

in your jquery script you don't invoke the loadScript method... Use:

$( window ).load(function() {
    loadScript();
});

Solution 3:

The $(window).load execute when all DOM is ready including images. That means if our web page has completely loaded including image then $(window).load function will call.

$(window).load(function() {

// script

})
