The page might be considered "loaded" even though the applet isn't. Don't know for sure, but it might be the case.
Couldn't you get the applet to throw something to the page once loaded which triggers the JavaScript to run?

Yes, OnLoad fires after the page is loaded, but We are finding that doesn't necessarily apply to java applets. We do our initialization from the OnLoad event, and yet we find the applet is not loaded yet. -----Original Message----- From: David DiPietro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 2:24 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Determining if a java applet has been loaded in JS? I believe the onload="checkForMyApplet('appletName')" With some function would do the trick since onload happens at the end of the page loading.

We are finding that sometimes the JS code will execute before the applet has been loaded, therefore causing errors (cuz the applet doesn't exist yet). We have toyed with the idea of building in a delay on our page before this initialization code runs, but have decided that this is not a good idea. How long should the delay be? What if the user is on a 28.8 modem? or a DSL line? the delay would need to change. So, we are looking for ideas/methods on how to check if the applet has infact loaded before doing any processing. We think something like: if (document.all.AppletName) { do something } But are not sure if this reference to the applet would cause an error if the applet isn't loaded yet. Are there any other methods? Thanks in Advance. Shawn Grover ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
