Rather than wait for the window to load, just put a style="width: x; height: y" on your images where x and y are the exact image width and height. That way even though the images haven't loaded yet, the browser knows exactly how much space to reserve for the images, and jQuery document layout adjustments will work fine. I know, I know, it's a pain keeping track of dimensions sometimes, but I believe it's generally good practice. :) I know this is an old post, but I stumbled upon it, so I’m going to recommend another fix.

(Or rather "jQuery(function($) { ... })", witch is best practice) I think it’s better to enforce vertical scrollbars by using css: “body { height: 100.1% }” and continue using the ready method.

I ran into the exact same problem when trying to arrange images so that they line up horizontally on each other. Some of them would work, and then it would just "stop". Now I understand why this happens, and fixed it too! Woohoo! Let me know if you want the plugin, its pretty neat for lining up horizontally anything you query for without tables or excessive positioning divs. :) omg, thank you so much for this.

Even so your solution is really the easiest way to solve the problem I've just taken on the challenge finding an alternative way of positioning your elements before window.onload.
