As stated in this thread: window.onload vs $(document).ready(). The window.onload
should occur later than the $(document).ready()
but in this simple co
@RoryMcCrossan saying is right, you have nothing in your html
to be load on window
like(image,video etc ). Now you can see how behavior of event is changed

This is a "feature" of jQuery 3. jQuery 1.X has always handled $(document).ready before $(window).on('load'). Furthermore, $(window).load() can be considered as an event when page is rendered. I'm 100% certain in this because now I just had an attempt to upgrade jQuery version to 3.X in a project that's been working stable with jQuery 1.X for almost 10 years. So this attempt has turned into a month of headache struggling with $(document).ready and $(window).load. Finally it was decided to leave it with jQuery 1.12.4, the latest of 1.X generation.
The problem is not with the order of the events. It with the jQuery wrapper around the native DOM events. If you try the native DOMContentLoaded
you will find that it always runs before window.onload
. But the jQuery event
$(document).ready
will come some milliseconds after DOMContentLoaded
, which in some cases might be after window.onload
too, especially if the page doesn't have much to load like the code below. This is delay is due to jQuery implementation.
If you uncomment the iframe in the code though, it takes some time to load which causes the window.onload
to be delayed, so $(document).ready
will come first.
