if $(document).not-ready()? How can I check if the page is still loading with Jquery?

Question

I want to call a function only if the document is still loading.. how can I?

Answer 1

You could run a function normally in JavaScript and overwrite it within jQuery.ready:

function foo() {
    // …
}
$(document).ready(function() {
    foo = function() {};
});
foo();

Now if foo calls itself recursively, it will stop when foo is redefined when the document is ready.

Answer 2

You could check document.readyState or use a simple variable in the global scope:

var ready = false;
$(document).ready(function () {
    ready = true;
});
