How can I get jQuery to call an event handler when an image actually appears on-screen?

dom, events, html, javascript, jquery

Solution

I think this JQuery Event Plugin does what you need:

Element 'in view' Event Plugin

I've created an event that will trigger when the element is scrolled in to the viewport.

also, the LazyLoad Plugin seems to have a "viewport" selector for JQuqery: Here.

Problem

How can I use jQuery to trigger a callback of a JavaScript function when I scroll down and see a picture? I wish to delay loading certain images until they actually appear on-screen... Ideally, I'd be able to do something like: ``` $('#img#').look_on() { ... ``` So no images are loaded apart from those I have seen.
