How to check if specific id is called from jQuery?

Question

I have a MainContent div which contains main content of the website which could be loaded from ajax.

how can i find out if $("#MainContent").load("someUrl") was called, so i am able to push new history state to the webbrowser?

Like LSletty said, if you want to know when it is called use the handler from .load() itself:

$("#MainContent").load("path/content.html", function(){
      // Do stuff when load is called ...
});

More info here: jQuery load event

To take action after completion I would use the .done() handler.

Use it in the following way:

$("#MainContent").load("path/content.html").done(function(){
  // Do stuff when load is done ...
});

From jQuery docs:

Add handlers to be called when the Deferred object is resolved.
