Is there a way to call a function every time a jquery basic function is called?

Question

I would like everytime I call a jquery load function:

$("#div").load("file.php");

To then call a separate function:

function secondFunction() {
    //do stuff
}

Do you want it for `load`function only or are you asking for a more general answer? the `load` function has a callback parameter. — gdoron, Jan 24 '12 at 18:09
I want it to be separate from the place where i call the load. So i need something that almost checks to see if there is a load and then calls it every time the something is loaded. @gdoron — Olokoo, Jan 24 '12 at 18:20

Pass it as the callback:

$("#div").load("file.php", secondFunction);

@Ian34: When exactly do you want it to run? There's no event that's triggered when `load` is called, or something like that. What's wrong with using the callback function? – gen_Eric Jan 24 '12 at 18:50

if i have understood clearly you can call the second function as the call back each time load is called

$("#div").load("file.php",secondFunction);
