document-ready

I have a question on jQuery $(document).ready Let's say we have a HTML page which includes 2 JavaScript files <script language="javascript" src="script1.js" ></script> <script language="javascript" src="script2.js" ></script> Now let's say in both these script files, we have $(document) as follows Inside script1.js : $(document).ready(function(){ globalVar = 1; }) Inside script2.js : $(document).ready(function(){ globalVar = 2; }) Now my Questions are: Will both these ready event function get fired ? If yes, what will the order in which they get fired, since the document will be ready at the

I've just started looking at JQuery. I don't have any AJAX in my web application at present. My existing JavaScript in my HTML looks like: <form ...> <p>Find what? <input ...></p> <div class="ButtonArray"> <a href="AddRecord.ASP&Action=ADD">ADD</a> <a href="#" onClick="return MyFormSubmit();">FIND</a> </div> </form> This displays Buttons for [Add] and [Find]. For Find it is necessary to Submit the form, and I use MyFormSubmit() which validates the data, adds a visual effect to the page, and then POSTs the data. I could add a CLASS or ID to the for the Find button and in JQuery I could write

Sorry if this has been answered before but all searches talk about the differences, not about using the two together, if possible. Simply, can $(window).load.(function() {}) be used INSIDE of $(document).ready.(function() {}) ? I have some things that should be done after the DOM is loaded but then I want to reveal certain elements only after the images have finished loading. The only thing that works in Explorer 8, is putting the $(window).load functions inside of the $(document).ready with everything else. Is this an acceptable practice? I just want to use the most acceptable method to

I have a webpage which heavily makes use of jQuery. My goal is to only show the page when everything is ready. With that I want to avoid showing the annoying page rendering to the user. I tried this so far ( #body_holder is a wrapper inside body ): $(function(){ $('#body_holder').hide(); }); $(window).load(function() { $("#body_holder").show(); }); This works completely fine, but messes up the layout. The problem is that hiding the wrapper interferes with the other jQuery functions and plugins used (eg layout-plugin). So I guess there must be another trick to do this. Maybe lay a picture or

I am looking at a piece of code: (function($) { // other code here $(document).ready(function() { // other code here }); })(jQuery); I though the IIFE does the functions of $(document).ready, is this code correct? or can I just remove the $(document).ready and place the code directly inside the IIFE. No, IIFE doesn't execute the code in document ready. 1. Just in IIFE: (function($) { console.log('logs immediately'); })(jQuery); This code runs immediately logs "logs immediately" without document is ready. 2. Within ready: (function($) { $(document).ready(function(){ console.log('logs after

I have seen some shortcuts for the ready() method and would like to know which actually happens first, because my test results confuse me.. $(document).ready(function(){ alert("document ready"); }); $(window).load(function(){ alert("window ready"); }); (function($){ alert("self invoke"); })(jQuery); Here self invoke happens first, then document, then window. Is the self invoke technique considered a ready() method? The third option is not a shortcut for .ready() (or jQuery related really), the self invoke runs immediately (as soon as it appears in the code), this is probably the shortcut you

I'm developing a platform for developing desktop apps with web technologies. In the course of doing so I've been trying to get some document/on-ready functionality working with the browser I will be integrating into the platform. That's why I'd previously asked this this question here on SO: javascript-framework-that-primarily-provides-just-document-onready-functionality However I've not been able to get my browser of choice (shush, its a secret ;) to successfully utilize the functionality suggested by the one and only answer to the above. So, in the course of just trying to figure out what

I'm working on a codebase with multiple blocks of code setting some behavior on document.ready() (jQuery). Is there a way to enforce that one specific block is called before any of the others? Background: I need to detect JS errors in an automated testing environment, so I need the code that starts logging JS errors to execute before any other JS code executes. document.ready() callbacks are called in the order they were registered. If you register your testing callback first, it will be called first. Also if your testing code does not actually need to manipulate the DOM, then you may be able
