I'm a complete newbie to jQuery. I've been looking at and toying with it for a few weeks, but this is my first real world attempt to implement it.
I have a site that uses a Thawte certification image, but the image shows up slowly at times that Thawte's server is feeling under the weather. Since I have no control over their script or their server-- and since the image's current position is mid-page--I'd like to be able to just put in a placeholder and then load it after the rest of the page is done. (Presently, it can delay the page's loading.) Currently (just for testing), I have tried placing a script block inside an IDed div, and setting that script's src attribute, but the entire page is replaced with the Thawte image. Is what I'm after even possible? Or am I just going about it in the wrong way? I've dummied up a couple of pages to show what's happening. (So far, I've only tested in FF 2.0.0.6.) http://dreamwolf.us/demo/jqscript.php http://dreamwolf.us/demo/jqscript_button.php The first page tries to load the image on ready(). Since you can't see the page after the Thawte image takes over, I created the second page (..._button...) to execute the same process after clicking a button. The "Secured by Thawte" logo requires including a script tag with an SRC that points to an EXE on Thawte's servers. I presume that Thawte's scripts use either doc.write() or add a new Image() to the parent element. I'm honestly not sure. Thanks in advance, Pyro
