[jQuery] Re: load() confusion

[MorningZ]

James:  there is also a JavaScript event called "load" for certain DOM
objects.. and consequently the ability to wire jQuery onto that
(http://docs.jquery.com/Events/load#fn)


to original poster:

"if I target the IMG, then it works fine, but how come it doesn't work
with the div? "

because <div>'s don't fire a "load" event, and as you found out,
images do
