jQuery trigger on change or load

    I'm using jQuery to check if a form element changes. Then on change I trigger ajax and load the results.

    However, when the user first lands on the page there will be no results as there has been no change to a form element.

    How do I write code which will trigger on change and when the page first loads?

    I thought the following would work. But only works on change.
    $('#form').on('change load', function(){

//code goes here

});

    I've been banging my head against the table trying to get this to work.

    use the ready event as per JQuery API http://api.jquery.com/ready/

    $( document ).ready(function() {
    // Handler for .ready() called.
    });

    this will tell you when the dom is ready. if you need everything on the page to be loaded - images, stylesheets etc... you window.addEventListener('load' function()...
