JavaScript - Div Slides Onto Page As It Loads?

Alright, so I'm working on a script, and I'm simply using the following code:

document.getElementById("element").onclick = alert("hello");

When I load the page, the alert fires instantaneously. I'm completely stumped. I've checked everything in my not too extensive Javascript file, and it looks fine. What common errors could cause this?

I have a slow loading external JavaScript that displays a calendar widget. When I put it in my sidebar, while the page loads, it cuts off where the calendar should be until the JavaScript for it finishes.

How can I make the script load after the page finishes loading?

I tried creating a function at the end of the HTML and calling the function in the sidebar, but I think because the function was being called before the script was executed, it didn't work.

I appreciate any and all help!

I am displaying a webpage from external domain in an iframe on my site. The webpage being shown in iframe has a header image that I would like to not appear when someone visits my site. Is it possible using Javascript or otherwise to have the iframe scrolled down by a certain pixels by default?

Hi. I am very new to javascript, so I might not even be wording my question right, but I am going to try and be as concise and specific as possible.

I am using jquery on my website- the galleria plugin- to make a slideshow. you can see the completed show he
http://www.pauljameswilliams.com/demo2a.html

This slideshow will be one of three on my website. Each slide show will opperate the same exact way.I have built in tabbed navifation, and the slideshows will all be accessable under the "portfolio" tab by clicking on their corresponding links.

check out the site he
http://www.pauljameswilliams.com/portfolio.html

As it is I have one slideshow up, although not yet connected to the corresponding link, but the images won't load. My guess is that because the div tag is hidden that the contents don't load propperly and I need the contents to load when the corresponding div tag that it is contained in becomes visible but I don't know how to do that.

this is the javascript that I have written to show/hide the <div> tags where the content will live. Three slide shows will live in content_2 and show/hide when the corresponding button is pressed.
Code:

function tabSwitch(new_tab, new_content) {  
  
    document.getElementById('content_1').style.display = 'none';  
    document.getElementById('content_2').style.display = 'none';  
    document.getElementById('content_3').style.display = 'none';
	document.getElementById('content_4').style.display = 'none';
    document.getElementById(new_content).style.display = 'block';     
  
    document.getElementById('btn_1').className = '';  
    document.getElementById('btn_2').className = '';  
    document.getElementById('btn_3').className = '';
	document.getElementById('btn_4').className = '';
    document.getElementById(new_tab).className = 'current';        
  
}

thank you- I am really stuck. i promise, i am actually learning javascript, I'm not just trying to get other people to do my work for me.

i have a photo slideshow that loads in the header so when the page is loaded the slide show is there on the left.

it looks like this (page layout)

header
--------------------> slideshow
content

---------------------> image
footer

-----------------------

where it says image i am adding an image, that colum is controlled by the header
so i added a div in there for the image.

what is happening is that since the image is small and the slideshow is large,
when the page loads the single image pops up for a second where the slide show is,
then it moves down on the page where it should be. I know this is caused by the
fact that the image loads faster than the slideshow so we see the image first in that space.

what i am trying to do is pause the single image load until the slideshow loads,
but i dont know how?

I cant move the image down and load it in the body because that left side column is
controlled by the header slideshow it has to be part of it when it loads.


has to be a way to make the slide show load on the page and then the image.

here is the setup on the header..


Code:

<table  border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
              <tr><td height="10px">
               </td></tr>
               <tr><td valign="top">
                <?php if($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']!='/crop.php')
                      {?>
                  <div style="width:250px; background-color:#666666; height:250px; float:right;
 display:inline; color:#CCCCCC; margin-right:8px;">
                     <div id="fadeshow1">
                      </div> <!-- close fadeshow div -->

                  
                    <!-- added image -->

                   <div style="text-align:center;width:250px;padding-top:30px;
background-color:#FFFFFF;float:right;color:#000000;">
<img src="<?=$SKIN_IMAGE_PATH?>/myimage.gif" border="0" alt="" title="myimage" />
</div>                                         
                      
                   <!-- end add -->

                       </div>  <!-- close top div for fadeshow and this image -->

                      <?php } ?>

the body of the site pages load here

I want to - after the page has loaded - detect a text string in the code..

something similar to

Code:

function afterPageLoadsDetect() {

 
	 Quote:

	

	
		

			
				//Code here that would do this ----
if (find_this_on_page_in_source_code == " <b>Average Customer Review: <img src="/v/vspfiles/templates/panda_custom/images/star4.5.gif"> ")
{
   alert("found it");
}
			
		

	
	


}

Simply put -- I want javascript to detect a text string in the source code and return it to me -- AFTER the page is fully loaded.

THANKS.

How can I truncate all words greater than 30 characters using a class name when the page loads?

Been trying to do this for about 5 hours. Trying to conside the following:

* Truncate long words and churn anything above the minimum length with an ellipse.
* Only truncate words and not the whole sentence or paragraph.
* Should truncate text that are inside HTML tags and not truncate the tags themselves.
* When you hover over the ellipse, it will show you the complete word.
* The long words are already truncated when the page load (SEO friendly).
* Block of text are included in a max of 25 <div> elements and a minimum of 1. That's why I'm not using ID.

So far I have this lines of code:

Code:

<script charset="utf-8" language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function test(gaz) {
		var sbText = gaz.innerHTML;
		var sbTextArr = sbText.split(' ');
		var tempText = "";
		for (var s=0; s<sbTextArr.length; s++) {
			if (sbTextArr[s].length > 30) { sbTextArr[s] = "marco"; }
			gaz.innerHTML = "";
			tempText = tempText + " " + sbTextArr[s];
			gaz.innerHTML = tempText;
			}
	}</script>

<div class="myClass" onmouseover="test(this);"><p>This is a <strong>looooooooooooooo</strong><em>ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong</em> word.</p></div>
<div class="myClass" onmouseover="test(this);">A text without long word.</div>
<div class="anotherClass"><p>Another set</p><p>But should not affect if there's a loooooooooooooooooong word.</p></div>

I got this from the web and modified it but not working as I intended it to be.

Just a basic question.... I am fairly new here. Just wondering if this is just a part of life. It seems like when I load javascript code into a page, that each item I add, such as an accordian vertical navbar, image slider, etc, that each time I add one, the page loads a second or so slower with each one added. I would like some of these features, but is this just a part of life, or are there tricks to avoid the slower load time? It is not major time but after the 2 items I mentioned, it added on about 2 seconds. Just enough to make it a bit annoying.

I read that $(document).ready(function() might slow me down but I do not see that statement in any of my .js files.
Thanks, Buffmin.

Hi,

As you will see with the code below when the text ONE and TWO are clicked on it displays a background color. When ONE is activated TWO is off. When TWO is activated ONE is off.

But when the page loads I want ONE to display the background color. When ONE displays the background color after the page has loaded, I want to click on TWO to display it's background color and ONE should turn off as it does now.

I can't figure out how to activate the background color for ONE when the page loads. Then if it is activated when the page loads, how to turn off ONE and turn on TWO when clicked on and visa versa.

Code:

Hi all,

I have created the following page http://www.kylehouston.com/testing/cci/

When loading in ie6 and ie7 the content slider exposes all the slides until fully loaded, is it possible to hide these slides while loading?

Thanks in advance

Kyle

I've found many examples of creating slideshows using javascript all over the internet and these forums. However, I haven't found any that show how to create a slideshow and give each slide a different time interval between switching to the next one.

I'm changing my website over from a Flash based one to something that can be read on all devices. In doing so I've looked for ways to add a little motion to the site. I'm working with a friend who has been doing most of the site but here and there I like to get my hands dirty and try some things on my own. Unfortunately he doesn't know Javascript.

I wanted to have an animation window in the bottom corner of the page. Look at http://www.whyreboot.com/blog to see what I came up with. I took a slider plugin for Wordpress and basically created a bunch of slides and entered them in to switch every .5s so that I could change how quickly they changed images by making some of them repeat the same slide 4 times for 2s, 2 times for 1s, etc. Though it's not pretty, it works. On Firefox everything looks great although it'd be nice to have fade in and out on each slide. On an iPad or IE it actually shows the flash between slides even when they're the same image. Quite frankly, it's ugly. Does anybody have any ideas?

Please keep in mind that I am a network systems engineer by trade so the only coding I know is Cisco IOS, etc. I'm trying to get this to work in a Wordpress site on a window with dimensions of 450X230.

I apologize if this is not the correct place to look for help on this. I have read the forum fules and guidelines and this seemed to be the right place. Thanks ahead of time for any sage advice from what looks like a great community of web geeks!
