Hey guys,
Thanks for stopping by, and checking out my problem. The idea was generally speaking , sorry about the braketing issue. Imagine that function would really work. To reword the issue: - I am attaching the event to the *active* window of the browser, right? - The file that contains the script, is remotelly accessed by the browser, it's a JS file. The code I attached was an example, of how the behaviour, should look. Let's ignore those sintax errors for now, my point was: why isn't the script attaching the event, even if there's a proof that the JS file has been loaded (the fact that when hovering the element is calling the foo function) until the page loads completely all its elements (images/css files/extra JS files). So, if I let the page load completely, everything works, the foo/bar was an abstract example. If the page is not loaded, the observers are still "sticked" to the active page, however, the called functions aren't recognized, even if they are stored inside the same file which triggers the "onload" event. That's the quick story, any opinions?
