jQuery trigger mouseover function when page loads with the mouse over the element

Question

I have an ASP.NET document, with an Image element within it.
I created a mouseover function on this image element and it's working fine.
The question is:
If the mouse is ALREADY over the element when the document loads itself, the mouseover function doesn't trigger (I need to mouseout and then mouseover again in order to trigger it).
Is there any way to check in the $(document).ready function if the mouse is already on top of this element? and if yes- trigger the mouseover function.
Thanks all!

Why don't you use the mousemove event? You could make it fire only once by setting a flag called movedOver to true, and then setting the flag to false on mouseleave
