jQuery event for images loaded

Question

Is it possible to detect when all images are loaded via a jQuery event?

Ideally, there should be a

$(document).idle(function()
{
}

or

$(document).contentLoaded(function()
{
}

But I can't find such a thing.

I thought of attaching an event like this:

$(document).ready(function()
{
    var imageTotal = $('img').length;
    var imageCount = 0;        
    $('img').load(function(){if(++imageCount == imageTotal) doStuff();});
}

But will this break if an image fails to load? It's critically important for the method to be called, and at the right time.

To check if an image is loaded successful or not, you can combine the use of jQuery 'load()' and 'error()' event : $('#image1') . load(function(){ $('#result1'). text('Image is loaded!
