iOS 8: window.onload not Triggered if Audio Tag on Page

[tf]

Under iOS 8.0.2 entries containing audio pages get stuck at the loading spinner since Safari fails to trigger the onload event on window. The problem does not occur if the page does not contain audio tags.

As a first workaround we'll hide the loading spinner after a timeout for iOS 8 browsers. As a more profound fix, one could consider creating audio tags dynamically (the way video tags are already handled now). This would require more browser testing though.

The problem is related to the window.onload event, which will not be triggered if there's a video or audio with the preload="none" attribute set. window.onload will run once every asset is loaded, and iOS 8 keeps waiting for the video to load, which will never do. Submitting a ticket to Apple right now.
