Hi All,

I have one question , In my ASP.NET MVC web application i have to do certain validation once page and all controls got loaded.

In javascript i was using belwow line of code for calling a method.

window.load = JavascriptFunctionName ; 

Some one from my team asked me not used above line of code Instead use JQuery to do the same

 document.attachEvent("onreadystatechange", function() {
        if (document.readyState === "complete") {
            CheckThis();

        }
    });

Please help me in understanding what is the difference between two. When i tested by keeping alert in both Jquery check is executing first and calling the CheckThis function where as window.load is taking some time and executing after it. Please suggest
