I'd like to add, that the load method is a little ambiguos. If you call
it on a selection of elements, like:
$('#output').load('/ajax.php');
it will load content from the given URL, and replace the contents of the
matched elements with the response from that XmlHttpRequest request.
A form element does not have a load event, thus you cannot bind that
event to it.
If you use load with the global window object on the other hand
$(window).load(function() {
// do something on load
});
you will attach an event handler that gets executed when the page has
been completely loaded, e.g. with all images etc.
To avoid confusion I use
$(window).bind('load', function() {
/ do something on load
});
But usually you don't need that and use the "DOMContentLoaded" event to
start acting on page elements. It gets fired earlier than the load
event. This is done with the well known $(document).ready or its shortcut
$(function() {
// do something
});
