JavaScript - How Can I Load A Slow External Js After Page Loads?
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! Similar Tutorialsi 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 am working on a demo for a movie site, and 90% of everything seems cool. Here I am doing php.flushes, .htaccess caching and using PNGs to help with performance. I might start using another sub site to grab all the scripting from to increase performance, but it seems a tad bit slow at the moment. - There are a few issues one being when you click on X-Men and look at the gallery the images seem to flicker sometimes going from image to image. I am using a fade script I found and then using setTimeout() to give the fade script time to do its thing then call for a new image. Code: FadeOpacity(main_img_id, 100, 0, 600, 12); setTimeout("updateGallery('"+target_arr+"','"+main_img_id+"')", 600); - Also in the same area I am checking clientHeight after each image modifying the marginTop. The thing with that is the clientHeight only seems to update after the second function call. I tried using a setTimeout() but that didn't nothing. Code: document.getElementById(main_img_id).src = "assets/movie_images/"+arr[i]; img_height = document.getElementById(main_img_id).clientHeight; Any suggestions with improving image load performance, the clientHeight issue or the image flickering issue would be appreciated. Hello. My goal is to load the JS for a specific element before displaying that element. I integrated a third part script, and it works well. I set the timer he The JS is in my heading as <script type="text/javascript" src="countdownpro.js"></script> About mid-body I have: <span id="countdown1">2010-07-20 00:00:00 GMT+00:00</span> which allows for the setting of a target date to countdown to. When the page first loads it shows the above long format target time, until the js/meta tags kick in to modify it to just show the actual countdown as 00:00:00. I have attached countdownpro.js to this post. I tried shifting the function CD_Init() to the top of the script, and also appended it inline with the .html. I tried setting the big external script to "defer", but neither arrangement worked. I also tried placing the src file right at the top. I appreciate your help. Hi all, I'm a bit newbie in scripting, but i'm trying to learn by myself . Hope you can help me with this I have two main pages, called index.html and news.html. Both pages loads a third page called news_content.html, using AJAX function load. This third page has a pagination script, but the pagination has to be different if the page has been loaded from index.html or news.html (for example, the max items per page has to be different). The pagination settings are defined inside news_content.html. How can I know, from the content page, with one has loaded it? Or... its possible to pass values from the main pages into the content page, in order to change the pagination settings? Thanks in advance! Hi I'm trying to load a part of a page (that has script in it) into another page using jquery. However, though the html loads in correctly, none of the script is working. I'm using code from http://css-tricks.com/video-screenca...namic-content/ ie. the pages all work without java (static pages) and when java is enabled, instead of going to bio.html you get taken to ..#bio.html. However if I've got any script I would like to be loaded .. ie. lightbox gallery or even a simple jav split and put back together email address hider. Any help greatly appreciated. I'm not very clued up about jquery at the moment unfortunately and though I've been trying to read and learn, alot is going over my head.. Not sure how best it is to show you the page as it's not live yet. Maybe if it helps I can upload a zip of the site. It's a simple 6 page musician site. Though my code is exactly like the css-tricks page, just that I have a lightbox on one page (which loads fine if there's no hash in the address - but when hash is there, it shows thumbnails, and when you click one, it just takes you to the larger .jpg destination page (no lightboxness etc).) Thanks Hello, I don't know if this can be done in Javascript, or requires any other language but i was wondering if this would be possible. I would like to embed this Javascript code in to a PHP file and then for it to run automatically upon the PHP file loading: Code: <td class="smallDesc"> <a name="fb_share" type="button_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script> </td> The Javascirpt is the Facebook Share button that basically allows users that have Facebook to share the page there currently on in their Facebook status by pressing the button, but if there not logged in it shows the login page, not a problem just continue the script. The current button i which is what i want to load automatically in the PHP file is located here, to test the functionalilty just click "Share" button in blue.. http://watch-movies-online.anyfilman...-Movie-17.html To summarise, i would like the above Javascript code to execute automatically upon pageload of this PHP file.. http://www.watch-movies-online.anyfi...p://google.com. If that could be done, and if this also is possible.. i would like for the "Share" button on the external page that is loaded from the Javascript code above to be clicked automatically so in effect when ever someone visits the PHP page after clicking "Click Here to Watch/Stream 2012 Online For Free" on this page it will automatically load the Facebook Share box, and automatically click the "Share" Button and then close the page if possible, but not required. Please feel free to ask any questions, i'll be happy to answer. Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Jonathan. I have an issue with my javascript files loading (i.e. checking the source code of the page after having loaded yields working links to my external files and the JQuery loading for sure after running some test), but calling a function from my javascript file works in no way shape or form. For example, one test I was running was: From my .js file Code: $("p").click( function() { $(this).hide(); } ) This will work on a standalone page when I test it (not loading from external .js file), but not in the page I need to get my scripts running on. I am trying to work out how to use Google Chrome DevTools to simulate a timeout on a JavaScript file on my site. I can use the 'Toggle Device Mode' to introduce throttling but that doesn't target a specific script. Is there a way to do this with DevTools? I am using Chrome 38. Hi guys. I've made a html file with three lists to populate different pages of my site.

Maybe with javascript? thanks in advance Is there a way onclick to load external html into a DIV tag, but without iFrame usage?
Hi anyone knows a lightbox that can be called like this? Code: <img src="imgs/edit.png" border="0" onclick="lightbox.open( 'test.php' ,'test');" style="cursor : pointer;"> or modify slimbox to work with iframe? sorry for bad english Thanks Hi guys, I need your help in this... I try to reuse double combo boz with description in http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/...ombotext.shtml... I need to make it load content from external div instead of text in array as description. This is because there are so many selection and some can refer to the same description. I already changed the description so it can read html tag. But I have no idea how to put div id inside array and load the div content. Anyone can help me solve this? Really appreciate your help Hi all Is there a way to get the image(s) to load into the table after the page has loaded instead of the way I have it now? I have 4 tabs, but I would like the imgs in tabs 2,3,4 to load after page load. Example of how the tabs look. Code: <div class="tabbertab"> <h2>Australia_____</h2> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#FFFFCC"> <caption class="highlight_Red">澳洲 Australia </caption> <tr> <td><a href="pages/promotion.html#aus_ACE" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="pages/images/Pics/AUS/ace.jpg" alt="ACE / ATTC" width="110" height="69" border="0" align="left" class="ozimg_L"/> ...a few more images etc the other tabs look the same. LT i have a javascript bookmark to log me onto my schools site javascript: window.location.href="http://www.MySchool";login=document.getElementById('Login'); void(login.value='user'); pass=document.getElementById('pass');void(pass.value='pass'); LoginbuttonSubmit(); without window.location.href="http://www.MySchool" it works fine if the page is already open, but with using the link to open the page, it runs the remaning script before the page loads and it doesn't work. is there any way to fix this withou using setTimeout() Hey guys, hope this is in the right place... Basically I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction or to an example of where a div slides onto the screen as soon as a page loads. My client wants something like this: http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html...ion/index.html (without parallax or the fade-in) but I refuse to do it in Flash, obviously. I have this gallery he http://juicenothing.com/freelance/gallery.php The div id is wrap. Is this possible? I can't find a good example anywhere!! Thanks (i'm a bit of a n00b, so pls go easy on me ) Resolved
I am working with using Javascript to create a page that scales and keeps its aspect ratio (much like a Flash page would). After a lot of trial and error, I have a prototype up with a couple of problems. It loads correctly once in I.E. Reloading, or opening a new browser, will also load the page correctly. But visiting a different page and coming back causes the width attributes to break. This happens with the non-aspect-ratio version in pure HTML also, but I was hoping that this problem would be solved by establishing values based on javascript variables. As for Firefox, the problem is more or less exactly the opposite. The page loads up all wonky the first time, and a reload or resize will fix it for every time afterward. To see what I'm talking about, you can take a look at http://www.jonesmfgmusic.com/testpag...lem_width.html For the HTML only version, see http://www.jonesmfgmusic.com/testpag...blem_html.html I'm guessing this is something to do with the order in which the data is loaded, so that once the information is all cached, it stops functioning in IE, and starts functioning in FF... can anyone confirm whether I'm on the right track with that, or how to fix it if I am? I'm most concerned by the fact that the width attribute is behaving as it does in IE. That looks like some kind of Microsoft bug to me, and I need a way around it. As for Firefox, I am guessing if I can just get it to load all of the correct information ahead of time, the page should come up correctly, but I just can't think how to do that. So I am having a bit of a weird issue. I am trying to make a webpage compatible with IE8 and it's quite painful. The page works great in firefox and chrome, but in IE8 it only loads some of the time. About 60% of the time the page loads and executes properly, but the other 40% of the time it looks like it hits an error somewhere and doesn't finish loading. I have tried using the IE error console / debugger (by pressing F12), but I can't seem to find any information about why the page isn't loading properly. The page that I am working on is located he http://tinyurl.com/89anxbd The page uses an SVG based UI, and in order to make this compatible with <= IE8 I am using SVGWeb to render the SVG code as flash for IE8 users. For Firefox, and other browser-compliant users the SVG code is rendered natively in the browser. Here is an image of what the page should look like (when it does load correctly in IE8): Here is an image of what the page looks like when it fails to load: It is like the page defines the circle elements for the various cities, but has not yet rendered the provinces (which are defined above the cities in the HTML body), but I'm not 100% sure on this. Any help is much appreciated! Does anyone know what's wrong with this code because when the page loads, the link is not being hidden Code: window.onload = setTarget; function setTarget() { var theLinks = document.getElementsByTagName('a'); for(var i = 0; i < theLinks.length; i++) { if(theLinks[i].getAttribute('href') == '/subjects/new') { theLinks[i].style.display = "none"; } } } 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. |
