Hi Mislav, The point of the iframe hack is to trigger the onload event. The js code won't be executed there in any way ; it is executed as in the other browsers, when the <script> element is inserted. as the <iframe> and the <script> point to the same file, they "should" be loaded at the same time. At least that is the behaviour I get in safari when loading some slow scripts (see test below)
The hack is included because despite a few hours of research I couldn't find any way to trigger any event in Safari when a script is loaded. I couldn't either find a property of the script element that changes after the script is loaded. Maybe there could be an exception that is only triggered when a script is not yet loaded when altering an attribute? The bug is here but I think it needs some love: http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12131 Happens with the nightlies too. I have a test class for it: //used in delay switch and testInsertScript var myVar = 0; //used in testInsertScript var callback = function(argument) { myVar = argument; } new Test.Unit.Runner({ testInsertScript:function() { var t = this; //test without callback Prototype.insertScript("fixtures/callback.js?_="+Math.random()); t.wait(2000,function() { t.assertEqual("Iñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn",myVar,"no callback"); //test with explicit callback var id2 = Prototype.insertScript("/ sleep.php&_="+Math.random(),function() { callback("Iñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn 2"); }); t.assertEqual("Iñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn",myVar,"zero"); t.wait(2500,function() { t.assertEqual("Iñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn",myVar,"first"); t.wait(4000,function() { t.assertEqual("Iñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn 2",myVar,"second"); }); }); }); } }); callback.js : setTimeout(function() { callback("Iñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn"); },1000); sleep.php : sleep(5); echo "1;"; On May 19, 2:26 am, "Mislav Marohnić" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 5/19/07, Tobie Langel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > I think Sylvain is just using the iframe to get an onload event > > triggered. > > I get it too, but what of the script? When you dynamically load JS you want > it to be executed - that is the whole point of the dynamic script tag. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype: Core" group.
