JavaScript - Wait For Finish Print

This is my first post and hope someone can show me how to have JavaScript wait until a function has completed before moving on? I tried a timer, but the database does not always came back with data durning the time alloted. Thank you for any help.

Code:

function RunMerch()

//Reprompt script


{
                var fW = (typeof getFormWarpRequest == 'function' ? getFormWarpRequest() : document.forms['formWarpRequest']);
                if ( !fW || fW == undefined) { 
                fW = ( formWarpRequest_THIS_ ? formWarpRequest_THIS_ : formWarpRequest_NS_ );}
                //fW._oLstChoicesMyFieldName.selectedIndex = 0;
                var preFix = '';
                if (fW.elements['cv.id'])
                {
                preFix = fW.elements['cv.id'].value;
                }
setTimeout('oCV' + preFix + '.promptAction(\'reprompt\')', 1000);
{

//Call val () function  -- This is where I want it to complete the reprompt 

function before moving on
val();
}
}

// This will run the valtradselection() function

function val()
{
valtradselection();
}

Watching firebug on facebook, I noticed I'm able to receive chat messages and notifications without constantly polling the server. How is this achieved? Google gives me mixed (seemingly irrelevant) results. I read 3 different methods related to "reverse AJAX" but it doesn't seem to be exactly what I'm looking for - i.e., no constant polling and no "piggy-backing" (waiting for user to do something then send extra data).

ok.

so i have all these big images and i need to let the whole page load before the viewer sees it

what i would like is for a separate url (or something to completely cover the html page so you cant see it loading) to say please wait or something like that.

Help!

I have an embedded font in my CSS however somtimes the texts loads before the font loads (i.e. the text is loaded in a normal font the it changes after). Is there anyway i can say dont load page until the font file is loaded, or maybe dont show the div until the font is loaded?

Hey all,

So this has been stumping me for the past couple days and I am hoping someone can give me a clue on how this can be done.

I have this function that is called when a next button is clicked:
Code:

function navigateToPage(pageurl){
				audfile = null;
				
				pauseaudio();
				jQuery("#coursecontent").attr("src", pageurl);
				
				jQuery("#coursecontent").load(function() {
					audfile = window.coursecontent.__backgroundaudio;
				});
				
				//WAIT HERE UNTIL audfile IS NOT NULL
				
				playnextsound();
				
			}

My problem is that I have content loading in an iframe (coursecontent). I can't call playnextsound() until that content is loaded. I know that I could just put the playnextsound() in the load function but that won't work as I am trying to find a workaround for audio autoplay on the ipad. That is why I am setting the audfile in the load function. I need to wait until audfile is no longer null before calling playnextsound(). The problem is that I can't call playnextsound() from inside any timer or anything because it will cause autoplay audio to not work. I thought maybe a while loop would do the trick but that seems to just create an infinite loop. I would be forever grateful if someone could give me any pointers.

Hi,

I have a site that runs a javascript slideshow automatically when a user visits it.

It is designed in such a way that I cannot pre-load individual images for aesthetic reasons. (Also the whole concept makes my brain hurt.)

I therefore need 1 of 2 things:

1. A preloader that doesn't show the page or start the slideshow until all the images are loaded.

or

2. I could start with the slideshow paused, and when the page is fully loaded, the play command (currently attached to a 'play' button) is 'sent'.

(I'm not techy, so this is the best I can do as explanation.)

The latter would probably be more elegant, especially if ultimately I could hide the controls for the slideshow with a loading bar until all the html is loaded, and then show them when the slideshow starts.

I'm sorry if this is a really basic question. I tried searching the site but couldn't find anything.

If you do feel like answering, can you imagine that you are speaking to a 5 year old. Then dumb it down a bit. I need all the explanation and clarity I can get!

Thanks!

Hi all,
Edit: Got it. I saved that source page and investigated closely and I realized that there's "Cookie plugin" script, which is not mentioned to add(?), in that tutorial


I've been trying to implement the method given at http://dev.akabillposters.com/dom-js...-links-jquery/, but can't make it work.
Nothing happens when I click the check box. I'm not a jquery expert, though tried some alerts statements to trace the issue, with no luck.

Can anyone see what I'm missing?

Hi, I'm having some issues turning this "Please Wait"/Disabled button into a function.

Code:

<input type="submit" value="Submit Form" onClick="this.disabled = 'true'; this.value='Please wait...';" />

Code:

function pleasewait()
{
this.disabled = 'true';
this.value='Please wait..'
}

<input type="submit" value="Submit Form" onClick="pleasewait();" />

Thanks much

Hello,

I have been looking for a code which loads my content and images as well as my javascript and style before my visitor enters my site. I have been on a website before (I cannot remember the link) and it has:

Quote:
Please wait til we take our own sweet time to load this page
with the content behind it, but slightly 'dimmed'. I think that this would be great for my site.

If anyone would help me with this I will greatly appreciate it!
Thanks.
