Can't do an online demo at the mo, I'm afraid.

A screenshot from FF?

See how the options look different from normal text on the page!

[jQuery] Re: Best event for changing the content of a div?

[Elwood Casey]

Correct: I'm not trying to change the content before the div loads.
I'm trying to change it at the soonest possible opportunity, but without
inline script!
I'm hoping for an event that fires on a per element basis, when the element
is ready - i.e $(element).ready().

The only event that seems to match is load(), but I can't get this to
fire...



Looking at the docs, the load() event might be what I'm after
