Starting Jscript Before The Page Loads?
Mar 6, 2001I know you can use the onload statement to start a javascript when the page has loaded, but is there a statement that can start a javascript as soon as the page starts to load?

View 4 RepliesIt 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.
I read that $(document).ready(function() might slow me down but I do not see that statement in any of my .js files.
I have gone through many scripts and functions to find breadcrumbs. While some work, they do not give me the exact function as I need. Due to the layout of my hosting service, I am allowed many websites - however they are all within the same filestore space. At the moment I have 3 small websites that I use for testing and when experimenting with breadcrumbs it includes those websites with the new one I'm experimenting with, meaning Home isnt the homepage of that specific website, but rather the home of my entire file system. For example;
websitehost.co.uk >>username >>website3 >>home >>page1
rather than
home >>page1
Has anyone come across any scripts or functions that allow me to do this - I have hunted around but the majority of the examples I have found produce the problem stated above.
The code I currently have implemented is the code found: [URL]
I have read the code and comments and set the 'domain name' variable to [URL] hoping that it would start at that page, but it does not.
(Short version on a asp page, fill out the form and press submit. It takes you to a thank you page, at that point I want it to go BACk to the form.
(Detailed For my work, we have a web based ticket system, and add notes to these via asp pages. I came up with some code to auto file the text, change combo box's then submit itself. Upon submit it takes to a simple "Thank You page" .... after .submit I would like it to go back to the origional "frmAddnote" page. I have tried everything for 2 weeks including:
[CODE]
history.back();
or
history.go(-1)
or
[Code]....
PS Its important to mention that I am running this code from a testfile.js on my local machine... Works fine just cant get it to go "back". I have no control of the code on the asp pages but thats not important.
I am looking for a way to show a picture on a page before the page loads.
for example. I already have a page but I want to show the visitors a image for 5 seconds before they can see the rest of the page.
Is this possible an if so how can I get it.
Maybe a script or a link where I can find it.
I have some code which toggles the content on the page. This works fine but I need the first div to be showing when the page loads and its tab to have a selected state.

<title></title>

img {border:none;}
#tab-nav {
padding: 0px 0 0px 110px;

Is there a way to link from frame a to frame b so that the javascript

I have a slide show program. First theres stuff to set up the array, and the time between slides Then a function startIt()is defined then a function stopIt()
Then two buttons, Start and Stop, which when pressed call the relevant
functions.
When the page loads, you have to click the Start button to get the
slide show running, but I'd like it to start running straight away
without having to click. I can't for the life of me figure this out.
I thought it was just a question of putting the line
startIt(); Code:
To begin, I'm a novice at this. I'm using 2 JQuerys on a page -
[Code]...
The first fades a page in and out when loading. The second 'smoothly' scrolls the page down to anchor text in the page. The problem is that the 1st script 'overpowers' the second, so when you click on an anchor text link it starts to 'smoothly scroll down, then the first script kicks in an re-loads the page. Is there a way of stopping the first script if the second one is being used?
When the DOM is ready you can write:
Say now, you want to try and do some animation done by default, in the below example I have done some animation only when the user do mouse over, how can i do that by default as in when the page loads.
Currently, I have code which fires a css class upon clicking a link like this:
Code:
<a href="http://www.google.com/">
<span class="frontbox" </span>Iframe example </a>
How can I fire this "frontbox" class when page loads, rather than having a visitor click the link?
I have a hotspot on an image that when the user moves their mouse over it makes some text appear from 0% to 100% opacity.
This function works fine, but when the page loads for the first time the text is already displayed. So Im wondering how to set the initial opacity of the text to 0% so its hidden until activated?
Heres the code I have at the moment (relevent parts in orange):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

I guessed by adding "sampletext2=hide" to the top but this did no good!
I have a text box to which I give focus when a page loads. There is more than one submit button on the form. When I enter something in the textbox then hit Enter the first submit button on the form is activated. Is there some simple code I can use to shift focus to the submit button I want as I press Enter?

window.onload = setTarget;
function setTarget()

var theLinks = document.getElementsByTagName('a');

i am working on a facebook like photo viewer. I have used javascript to declare an array of about 200 images. I have the following approach to pre-load the images.I preload all the images when the page loads:
HTML: <body onload = "lodpic()">
JAVASCRIPT:
function lodpic()
{
for(i=0; i<=199; i++) {[code]....
The problem is the page tries to load all the images when opened. And when the user clicks "next" to view other photos, the other photo is still loading where as some are already loaded.I would like the code to be able to load the photo that the user is currently viewing as the user gets to that picture, before the page tries to finish loading all the photos.In other words, if the user wants to view a particular photo directly, that photo should get the priority of loading quickly.
This is for an ASP submission form. User creates a record, Access assigns a unique ID by Autonumber, I want to then pull that ID and insert into URL.
This is my code:
var addID
addID = '<%=(rsResults.Fields.Item("ID").Value)%>'
location.href=('?ID='+addID);
It adds the ID to my url fine, but it doesn't stop!
I've tried making a loop by this method:
var addID, looper;
looper=1;
while (looper < 2) {
addID = '<%=(rsTestResults.Fields.Item("ID").Value)%>'
looper=2;
location.href='results.asp?ID='+addID;
}
I'm guessing this is some type of javascript code but since I don't know Javascript maybe I'm wrong but how is this done

When you go to her to site if u reload it a diff bg comes up each time almost like a whole new page loads how did they do this?
i assume this is fairly simple to do! however i cant seem to find a solution that works.
i have links which use shadowbox to load content as an iframe, but in ie if the page is not loaded it takes you direct to the html page instead.
i thought if i could hide the ul elements which contain the links until the page loads this would work.
does any body know how i can do this with unobtrusive javascript ideally?
I have long html/CSS (no CMS or php, etc.) web pages. Some people run away when they see too much content on a page. So I hide the large lower section of the pages and have the user click anchor text to execute simple JS code to change the display from 'none' to 'block' or back to re-hide.
Code:
(BTW my research indicates that search engines do not know the difference between display='none' and normal content, or I would not be hiding content in the first place.)
Within this hidden content, I have anchor text to provide name handles
Code:
So users can click a link and go directly to that section. Within that link I include
Code:
So that works fine within a particular page. But when I want to link to an anchor on another page which is within this hidden content, the browser cannot display the anchor text because it is still hidden.
Is there a way to execute the JS code to change the DOM, changing the display to 'block' on the content of the new page?
I do not see how, because the new page isn't loaded yet, there is no DOM within the browser yet, so how can it be manipulated?
Of course if I was using php I could generate the code with the property set as desired. But for straight up html/CSS/JS pages is this possible?
I get the feeling I am missing something simple here, either a simple solution or the simple fact that this is just an inherent limitation of html.
I am utilising this code from Dynamic Drive to create a drop down which loads a PHP page in a DIV. This all works great.

However the content of my PHP page retrieves data from a SQL database slowly before loading completely. Is there anyway I can incorporate some 'Loading...' text into the script so the user knows not to click again.
I was thinking that I could set the Div's value to a html file with the loading data while the PHP loads and then revert to the other page. Is there a way of doing this?
I have a bona fide link to an academic website at Florida University where I want to check out an educational Java applet about the universe. I downloaded and installed the latest Java but all 3 browsers crash when I try to open the page. ( Mozilla, IE and Opera). I am not going to post the link here until asked to / given the go-ahead, but like I said, this is a legitimate university website. What keeps happening? Others can open it, I can't. And I have Java enabled in FF.

I am launching a web page in an iFrame and then clicking the "Start Tests" button provided by QUnit. All the tests for the loaded page correctly show asserts for each test. I then do $('selector').trigger.('click') to go to a new page. Since the tests for this page start running before the page is completely loaded I see failed asserts. This is expected.
So then I try something like:
What happens is that I see no assert result in the QUnit test report for 'test C'. If I remove the stop, setTimeout, and start calls then I see the assert, but of course if fails.
I am aware that unit tests are supposed to be independent of each other and not need to run in a certain order, i.e. scenario testing. What I want to know is if QUnit supports some way to pause and then restart groups of tests.
