Definition and Usage

The load() method was deprecated in jQuery version 1.8.

The load() method attaches an event handler to the load event.

The load event occurs when a specified element has been loaded.

This event works with elements associated with a URL (image, script, frame, iframe), and the window object.

Depending on the browser, the load event may not trigger if the image is cached (Firefox and IE).

Note: There is also a jQuery AJAX method called load(). Which one is called, depends on the parameters.
