How do I implement a special event in jQuery?

Question

I'm using this plugin to replace jQuery's imgload event with one that will fire regardless of whether the image is cached.

The (minimal) documentation says to use it thus:

Usage:
$(images).bind('load', function (e) {
// Do stuff on load
});

So, two questions. One, do I just link to the plugin into my header next to jQuery? And two, is my implementation

$('#preload img:first-child').load(activateThumb);

Equivalent to the one above (ie do I need to pass e to the load() function?

Answer 1

do I just link to the plugin into my header next to jQuery? - Yes

Equivalent to the one above (ie do I need to pass e to the load() function? - it's up to you - if you don't need it in your handler - no need to pass e into it, but I think you should still use bind function, since I don't see that plugin adding load method to add event handler
