A little off topic but please bear with me, it's kind of a weird problem...
We are converting an existing desktop application to the web verbatim (the user should not be able to tell the difference between the two). That said, I have a rather complex page that has a 37 DIVs, 24 of which are sub-divs (contained within another DIV) which are only shown under certain conditions. The overall rendered page thus far is in the neighborhood of 3500 lines of code (not stripping out spacing). The problem is that we have a java applet to present Tabs. This applet triggers a ChangeDiv() javascript function when the tabs are clicked, and when it loads. The DIVs related to the tabs are CFINCLUDED after the tab. However, even on the local network, the java applet is loading, and firing the ChangeDiv function before the related DIVs are rendered/loaded, causing an error when ChangeDiv tries to make a DIV visible or not. I have confirmed this by moving the applet to the end of the document, and noting the error disappears. However, now the Tabs look rather funny hanging in the middle of nowhere so to speak (and it doesn't match the desktop app). The OnLoad event IS being used, but does not call the ChangeDiv function - but the ChangeDiv IS being called by the applet. So, the inevitable suggestion to use OnLoad isn't going to help any. So, I'm looking for ideas how to resolve this. I'm thinking about putting the applet into it's own DIV at the end of the document, then doing dynamic positioning, but expect this to be somewhat troublesome with the relative/absolute positioning. Unfortunately, I have been told that I cannot use multiple pages with page reloads to present this information - it must all be on one page/file. I've split the logic somewhat into include files, and will be moving the javascript into a library once all the quirks are worked out (maybe that will be enough to fix the problem??). Thanks for any suggestions. I'll keep working at it till I hear some other viewpoints.
