js execute script after page load code example

Example 1: JavaScript that executes after page load

//two ways of executing JS code after page is loaded, use "DOMContentLoaded" when able

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(){
    //dom is fully loaded, but maybe waiting on images & css files
});

window.addEventListener("load", function(){
    //everything is fully loaded, don't use me if you can use DOMContentLoaded
});

Example 2: call javascript function after page load complete

//for jquery
//after document load
$(document).ready(function() {   //same as: $(function() { 
     alert("hi 1");
});
//after full window load including image src css file
$(window).load(function() {
     alert("hi 2");
});

Example 3: html tag run only after whole page is loaded

//put your JS code in
document.onload = function {
	// the code here will run when all the HTML is loaded (but the css and the images may miss)
}

// or in
window.onload = function {
  // the code here will run when the whole page is loaded (including css and images)
}
