Research direction

The issue names no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the dynamically inserted object and its jQuery load-listener setup, then define the expected completion behavior before identifying a suitable change and verification approach.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Let's say divSomeObject could be too large to fit in a rectangle that has been allocated for it.

It could have an image in it, so when the object is first created, we have no way of knowing whether or not the contents will fit in the box.

So let's have some code run when the object if fully loaded, using jQuery.

$(divSomeObject).on ("load", function () {
   runSomeCode ();
   });

But this isn't happening.

I've read all I can find on the web about this, but they seem to be concerned with objects that load when the page loads. There's no requirement that this happen at page-load time. Sometimes the objects appear dynamically while the app is running.

I've made sure the object is inserted in the DOM when we set up the listener for the "load" event.

Any suggestions welcome.
