yes. Jôrn just posted this to the list yesterday:
From the Learning jQuery book draft (be sure to buy it once its out!):
if ($enlargedCover[0].complete) {
animateEnlarge();
} else {
$enlargedCover.load(animateEnlarge);
}
This is a rare instance in which the load event is more useful to
us than jQuery's custom ready event. Since load is triggered on a
document, image, or frame when all of its contents have fully
loaded, we can observe the event to make sure that all of the image
has been loaded into memory. Only then is the handler executed, and
the animation performed.
Internet Explorer and Firefox have different interpretations of
what to do if the image is already in the browser cache. In this
case, Firefox will immediately send the load event to JavaScript,
but Internet Explorer will never send the event because no "load"
actually occurred. To compensate for this, we can use the complete
property of the image element. This property is set to true only if
the image is fully loaded, so we test this value first and start
the animation if the image is ready. If the image is not yet
complete, then we wait for a load event to be triggered.
Hope that helps.

I think I've discovered that there may be a .completed attribute in
javascript that could be used to tell when each image is loaded...
