Just to add to Mihais answer: A "ready" signal not exist because it's
just not possible to define what that means because scripts can change
things at any point in time. That doesn't mean things couldn't be
easier: There's the img.complete property that you should be able to
use to check on your images but that has some issues that prevent it
from being too useful at the moment.

First, it's not really implemented as specified (if anyone is willing
to look at my patches in webkit.org/b/28832 and webkit.org/b/95440
that would be great). If the implementation was correct it might be
more useful for you than just onload but note that the specification
still explicitly says that the value of img.complete can change during
the execution of your script
(http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/the-img-element.html#dom-img-complete),
even after onload...

HTH,
