A little while ago, my electronic lockbox / key safe started eating batteries.
When I opened her up, I discovered the problem: condensation!
Join me for a look at how you can save your own battery-powered devices from the scrap heap…

Let’s say you’re writing a web app, and of course you’re using JavaScript. So far, so good!
But then let’s say you need to load some images on the fly, and then do something useful AFTER each image is fully loaded.
IOW, maybe you want to adjust the layout of the image modal that pops up, or you want to do something crazy with a caption, or whatever…
Naturally, you’d use JavaScript to do this – including changing CSS on the fly.
So the question is: How do you use JavaScript to detect when an image is fully rendered on the page – not just loaded?
