I've had to do exactly this a couple of times myself recently and this
is the soultion i found best.
Let's say in my code i have created a custom control, and it's got an
id of 'myControl'.
I've added it to the map and want to set some CSS styles on it.
function initMyControls(){
if(document.getElementById('myControl')){
// the control exists in the DOM and can be manipulated now
} else {
// the control does not yet exist
setTimeout(initMyControls, 1000);
}
}
// start checking to see if the control exists
initMyControls();
That'll execute until the control exists in the DOM and is ready for
manipulation.
If you have more than one control simply check if that control exists
too:
if(document.getElementById('myControl') &&
document.getElementById('myOtherControl')){
// etc
And of course you can experiment with different timeout periods to
find what's best.
