Hello,

I've seen examples for load() and ready(), but they always seem to apply to the window or document body, or a div or img or something like that.

I have a hover() function, and when you hover over it, it uses fadeIn() to reveal it. Problem is, the images inside the div aren't loaded yet, so it ends up just appearing anyway. I need code that will only allow the image to fade when it's contents are fully loaded. When I just plug in other selectors like the following, it doesn't work

$(this).next(".menuPopup").ready(function () { //or load(), neither work
  fadeTo(300, 1);
});

EDIT: Relevant code

     $( '.leftMenuProductButton' ).hover (
            function () {

                                $(this).next(".menuPopup").stop().css("opacity", 1).fadeIn('slow');


            },
            function () {



                $(this).next(".menuPopup").stop().hide();


    });

HTML

<div class="leftMenuProductButton"> Product 1</div>
                                <div id="raceramps56" class="menuPopup"><IMG SRC="myimage.jpeg"> </div>
