Load a jquery event only after the preloader ends

My website is : https://365arts.me/
So it loads about 16mbs of pics(Yes I know, I'm stupid. I'll try to change it very soon, also if someone could tell me a way to reduce size of do something else(like dynamic loading only when needed, if something like that exists) I'd be very grateful).
I added a preloader for it using:
[html]:
<div class="spinner-wrapper">
<div class="spinner">
<div class="dot1"></div>
<div class="dot2"></div>
</div>
</div>
and corresponging [jquery]:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
//Preloader
$(window).on("load", function() {
preloaderFadeOutTime = 500;
function hidePreloader() {
var preloader = $('.spinner-wrapper');
preloader.fadeOut(preloaderFadeOutTime);
}
hidePreloader();
});
});</script>
this works well but the problem is I have a javascript code that comes and says Hi! but it runs only for 2.8 seconds. So if loading takes up more than that, It doesnt show up. Can someone please tell me how to make sure that it loads only exactly after loading is completed.
Thanks a ton.
Code for my website:
https://github.com/richidubey/365-Days-Of-Art/blob/master/index.html

this may work
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
// your code here
}, false);
if you are happy with pure javascript

My first suggestion is to just get rid of the "Hi!" message since you already have a splash page in the form of the loader. But if you really want that second splash page, you can use the JQuery when() method:
$(window).on("load", function() {
$.when($('.spinner-wrapper').fadeOut(500)).then(displaySplashPage);
});
This assumes that displaySplashPage() is your function for showing the "Hi!" message.
You don't need $(document).ready() and window.on("load") here. Document ready waits for the HTML to be built, then applies event listeners/functions/etc to the structure. Window onload waits for everything to get loaded, then fires. In your case, you're trying to wait for all your pictures to load, so you only need onload.
You might need to have a container around all your main content set to opacity: 0 that switches to opacity: 1 as part of displaySplashPage(). That would prevent things from leaking through as you do the .fadeOut() on the loader.

JavaScript version - run js code when everything is loaded + rendered
window.onload = function() {
alert("page is loaded and rendered");
};
jQuery version (if you need it instead pure JS)
$(window).on('load', function() {
alert("page is loaded and rendered");
});
You can try this:
<script>
// Preloader
$(window).on("load", function() {
fadeOutTime = 500;
sayHelloDuration = 5000;
function hideSayHello() {
var sayHello = $('.say-hello');
sayHello.fadeOut(fadeOutTime);
}
function hidePreloader() {
var preloader = $('.spinner-wrapper');
preloader.fadeOut(fadeOutTime);
setTimeout(function() {
hideSayHello();
}, sayHelloDuration);
}
hidePreloader();
});
</script>
Also, remove the code from lines 83 ~ 87:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.say-hello').delay(2800).fadeOut('slow');
});
</script>
About your website performance, you can improve a lot of things right now:
Use smaller thumbnail images on your front page, don't load FULL SIZE images at once. "work-showcase" section is really heavy without real necessity.
Try to incorporate src-set and smaller images for small screens, larger/heavier images for bigger screens. All modern browsers support it, and it will improve performance/loading speed.
Try to lazyload your big images, e.g. only when users scroll down to them, not before. It may take some work to integrate it with your image viewer, but it will additionally speed things up on initial load. My favorite library for this is this one: https://github.com/aFarkas/lazysizes but, you may find something else...
Unrelated to your original question, I have noticed that you have a bug in your HTML - see this screenshot. What kind of code editor do you use? Instead of empty space it apparently inserts invisible dots symbols which are not good. Actually, it's not the invisible dot (that's my editor's space indentation symbol), it's caused by 2 long dash (instead of short dash or minus) in your code after opening html comment tag:

add javascript to wordpress page

I want to add filmstrip to my page that scrolls images without using a plugin. So I found nice javascript online (http://jsfiddle.net/benknowles/TUwqn/2/) that does exactly what I want to do. Here is the script:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('#filmstrip').filmstrip({
interval : 3000
});
});
Here is what I have done so far. I uploaded the javascript to my server and added in my footer in WordPress. Then I copied the HTML as from the example on http://jsfiddle.net/benknowles/TUwqn/2/ and just replaced with location of my images. Added the css as from the example but I just can't get it to display correctly.
Am I missing something?

As j08691 alluded to, you need to include this file in your html before the code block:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('#filmstrip').filmstrip({
interval: 3000
});
});
Which gives you access to the filmstrip function

How to run a javascript function when a page dynamically loads content

I am currently writing some Javascript code that adds some tags across text in an HTML file after the page loads. I use the
window.onload
method for achieving this.
However, I am facing an issue in pages like google plus, where you get more content as you scroll down. Is there a way of calling my JS function when such a page adds more content?
Thanks
Akshay

There are several ways how to get this working. You can either use jquery like this:
$('#mydiv').bind("DOMSubtreeModified",function(){
// your code goes here
alert('changed');
});
Note that this is not supported in IE8( and below).
Or you can run loop and continuously fire the desired code:
var interval = setInterval(function() {
// your code goes here
}, 1000);

Going to a page anchor after load adding transition

I'm quite new at using jquery but learning a bit everyday. I have solved many problems searching this web but I can't seem to find any solution for this one:
The web I'm workign at the moment use quite a lot of page anchors.
I have localscroll and scrollto as jquery libraries.
I animated the transition with this little script:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.scrolllento').localScroll({ duration: 1000 });
});
</script>
and it works fine whatever I add the class "scrolllento" to the cointainer of my links.
Now the problem I have is when a link jumps to an anchor of inside different page. my client has asked me if it's possible to load the page first then move to the anchor with same web transition.
I have been working on it with my little knowdlege and this is what I have atm:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
var nosalto = $(location).attr('href');
if (nosalto.indexOf("HistoriaBMG") > 0) {
$.fn.gotoAnchor = function (anchor) {
location.href = this.selector;
}
$('#historia').gotoAnchor();
}
});
</script>
"HistoriaBMG" is the new page and "#historia" is the anchor I want to go inside that page.
and it seems again that it works...
the problem is I have no idea how to implement now the transition as the class "scrolllento" in the container of the link going to ../HistoriaBMG is ignored.
could anyone help me? thanks so much in advance and excuse my english, hope this question is clear enough.

According to the localScroll docs:
The plugin also adds a function, $.localScroll.hash() , that checks the URL in the address bar, and if there's a hash(#an_id), it will scroll to the element. It accepts a hash of settings, just like $.localScroll. You will likely call it on document ready. Check the regular example to see it in action.
So you simply need to call $.localScroll.hash()on $(document).ready()

jQuery slow reveal on page load

I am trying to do a slow reveal on a particular div with an id of 'contentblock' on page load. This is my first time trying to code something in jQuery and I continue to fail. The following is my latest attempt, but I'm a complete newbie to this and surprisingly google hasn't been a whole lot of help.
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(window).onload(function(){
$('#contentblock').slideDown('slow');
return false;
});
</script>
before that I also had the following instead of the window onload line above:
$(document).ready(function(){
But that didn't have any success either. Can someone help a jQuery newbie out?

First, you'll need to make sure the element is hidden (or it won't be shown, since it's already visible). You can do this in either CSS or JavaScript/jQuery:
#contentblock {
display: none;
}
Or:
$('#contentblock').hide();
If you use CSS to hide the element you need to be aware that the element will remain hidden in the event of JavaScript being disabled in the user's browser. If you use JavaScript there's the problem that the element will likely flicker as it's first shown and then hidden.
And then call:
$(window).load(function(){
$('#contentblock').slideDown('slow');
});
I've made two amendments to your jQuery, first I've changed onload to load and I've also removed the return false, since the load() method doesn't expect any value to be returned it serves no purpose herein.
For the above jQuery you can use instead:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#contentblock').slideDown('slow');
});

$(document).ready(function(){
if($('#contentblock').is(':hidden'))
{
$('#contentblock').slideDown('slow');
}
});
if you have jquery added to your project and your div is display none ... something like this should work.
