jQuery : replacement for deprecated ".load()"?

Question

jQuery v3.0 deprecates the .load() function which has me in a bind because my jQuery scripts require that images be loaded before they run. Does anyone know a way to apply what was previously coded as

$(window).ready(function() {

but without using the .load() lead in?

$(window).ready(function() definitely does NOT work, as it triggers before the images are loaded.

I am trying to find a solution which works well with a jQuery function. I am aware of Javascript .onload but am not sure how to mesh that as a lead in for jQuery routines.

Thank you!

Hmmm? If `load()` is deprecated, why can't you use `ready()`? — Álvaro González, Jun 14 '16 at 16:33
I can't find any reference in jQuery/3 release notes to changes in `.ready()`. I have the impression that whatever fails to work in version 3 didn't work either in earlier releases. — Álvaro González, Jun 15 '16 at 08:59

According to http://blog.jquery.com/2016/06/09/jquery-3-0-final-released/:

Removed deprecated event aliases

.load, .unload, and .error, deprecated since jQuery 1.8, are no more. Use .on() to register listeners.

OK - The specific answer is to change to $(window).on("load", function() { – Ira G Jun 14 '16 at 16:40
