I am learning JQuery, and I have ran into an odd issue. I made a slideshow, and it works in IE, Firefox 3.0 and Firefox 3.5, but the initial image doesn't work in Chrome.
The script just cycles through a list of images and resizes the divs (image, caption) based on the size of the viewing window. If I move the $(document).ready(function() { }); script to the end of the body, the script works OK.
I was under the impression that the $(document).ready function wouldn't be called until the document had totally loaded. Is that correct, and the Chrome render engine is doing something odd, or I am doing something wrong?
here is the code:

$( document ). ready()A page can't be manipulated safely until the document is "ready." jQuery detects this state of readiness for you. Code included inside $( document ). ready() will only run once the page Document Object Model (DOM) is ready for JavaScript code to execute.
The key difference between $(document). ready() and $(window). load() event is that the code included inside onload function will run once the entire page(images, iframes, stylesheets,etc) are loaded whereas the $(document). ready() event fires before all images,iframes etc.
The ready() method is an inbuilt method in jQuery which helps to load the whole page then execute the rest code. This method specify the function to execute when the DOM is fully loaded.
ready() method in jQuery? 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.
"ready
" means the DOM, not the content of the pages. This means the page's HTML structure is there, but images, iframes, etc. may not necessarily have been loaded. You'll need the load
event instead of the ready
event if you need everything loaded.
