How can I fire something after $(document).ready() completes?

Question

Is there a way to have your function be called as the LAST in the $(document).ready() queue or, is there a way to trigger an event once this has completed?

I want to essentially see if something was fired by $(document).ready() and, if not, fire it after wards. If I put this code into document ready then there is no guarantee it will execute last so could result in multiple checks.

Answer 1

You can set a global variable when your function is fired, and check that before running it again:

E.g.,

function myFunc()
{
    if (myFuncHasFired)
        return;
    myFuncHasFired = true;
    //your func code here
}

This does not guarantee your function will run last, but satisfies what I think is your real requirement that the function not run multiple times in one request.
