Unfortunately there is no onload support for stylesheets in most modern browsers. There is a solution I found with a little Googling.

The basics
The most basic implementation of this can be done in a measely 30 lines of — framework independent — JavaScript code:
function loadStyleSheet( path, fn, scope ) {
var head = document.getElementsByTagName( 'head' )[0], // reference to document.head for appending/ removing link nodes
link = document.createElement( 'link' ); // create the link node
link.setAttribute( 'href', path );
link.setAttribute( 'rel', 'stylesheet' );
link.setAttribute( 'type', 'text/css' );
var sheet, cssRules;
// get the correct properties to check for depending on the browser
if ( 'sheet' in link ) {
sheet = 'sheet'; cssRules = 'cssRules';
}
else {
sheet = 'styleSheet'; cssRules = 'rules';
}
var interval_id = setInterval( function() { // start checking whether the style sheet has successfully loaded
try {
if ( link[sheet] && link[sheet][cssRules].length ) { // SUCCESS! our style sheet has loaded
clearInterval( interval_id ); // clear the counters
clearTimeout( timeout_id );
fn.call( scope || window, true, link ); // fire the callback with success == true
}
} catch( e ) {} finally {}
}, 10 ), // how often to check if the stylesheet is loaded
timeout_id = setTimeout( function() { // start counting down till fail
clearInterval( interval_id ); // clear the counters
clearTimeout( timeout_id );
head.removeChild( link ); // since the style sheet didn't load, remove the link node from the DOM
fn.call( scope || window, false, link ); // fire the callback with success == false
}, 15000 ); // how long to wait before failing
head.appendChild( link ); // insert the link node into the DOM and start loading the style sheet
return link; // return the link node;
}
This would allow you to load a style sheet with an onload callback function like this:
loadStyleSheet( '/path/to/my/stylesheet.css', function( success, link ) {
if ( success ) {
// code to execute if the style sheet was loaded successfully
}
else {
// code to execute if the style sheet failed to successfully
}
} );
Or if you want to your callback to maintain its scope/ context, you could do something kind of like this:
loadStyleSheet( '/path/to/my/stylesheet.css', this.onComplete, this );
