Hide Body until Content is Loaded -- Works on IE, but not Safari?

Here's a weird one -- something that works great in IE, but not in Safari. Here's my code:

<script type="text/javascript">
 $(document).ready(function(){
 $('body').css('display', 'block');
 });</script>

</head>
<body style="margin:0; display:none;">

The goal is to set the body display to none until the document is ready. Then change the display property to block.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

Solution

  • You should use jQuery's .load() if you want the page to really be ready (images loaded too) before displaying it. On the other hand, you shouldn't hide the body at all with css, as people with javascript turned off will assume the site just crashed. Unless of course you're creating a 100% javascript dependent application.
