imagesLoaded() jquery plugin
// $('img.photo',this).imagesLoaded(myFunction)
// execute a callback when all images have loaded.
// needed because .load() doesn't work on cached images
// mit license. paul irish. 2010.
// webkit fix from Oren Solomianik. thx!
// callback function is passed the last image to load
// as an argument, and the collection as `this`
$.fn.imagesLoaded = function(callback){
var elems = this.filter('img'),
len = elems.length,
blank = "data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==";
elems.bind('load.imgloaded',function(){
if (--len <= 0 && this.src !== blank){
elems.unbind('load.imgloaded');
callback.call(elems,this);
}
}).each(function(){
// cached images don't fire load sometimes, so we reset src.
if (this.complete || this.complete === undefined){
var src = this.src;
// webkit hack from http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-dev/browse_thread/thread/eee6ab7b2da50e1f
// data uri bypasses webkit log warning (thx doug jones)
this.src = blank;
this.src = src;
}
});
return this;
};

Yes that does break it in webkit, scratch that
Only way around that is to break the cache:
src + ?_="+(new Date().getTime())
:(
Thanks for pointing that out.

Could the unbinding happen inside the callback after all the images have loaded?
elems.bind('load.imagesLoaded',function(){
if (--len <= 0 && this.src !== blank){ elems.unbind('load.imagesLoaded'); callback.call(elems,this); }
}

@ksykulev - maybe add it after "this.src = src"?

@cjboco - After some testing:
Putting the unbind after the "this.src = src" unbinds the load event too fast and it doesn't get called..
Putting the unbind in the conditional seems to be working OK.

elems.bind('load.imagesLoaded',function(){
if (--len <= 0 && this.src !== blank){ elems.unbind('load.imagesLoaded'); callback.call(elems,this); }
}

@cjboco - Thanks for your help!

hey guys

mr @desandro has picked up this script and given it a proper repo as a home:

https://github.com/desandro/imagesloaded

I've added the namespaced events to my gist above as that seems like a good idea. but in general, david's version is the new canonical one

ok, its a cached images solution for webkit? but its simpler by checking width or height after loading event:

    img.addEventListener("load", function() 
    {
      var tmrLoaded = window.setInterval(function()
      {
        if (img.width) 
        {
          window.clearInterval(tmrLoaded);  
          alert( "its done!");
        }
      }, 100);

    }, false);
