document.ready is a jQuery event, it runs when the DOM is ready, e.g. all elements are there to be found/used, but not necessarily all the content.
window.onload fires later (or at the same time in the worst/failing cases) when images and such are loaded. So, if you're using image dimensions for example, you often want to use this instead.
