Hi JoJo,
Excellent example of a pared-down test case, thanks for that.
I don't have time right now to try this, but just quickly: You say
that the code in the load event never runs, are you sure you haven't
interrupted it by clicking the button really early and causing the
error? The window.load event happens quite late in the overall load
process; you might consider using
document.observe(dom:loaded, function() {
// ...
});
instead, it happens earlier and might reduce the window of time in
which a user can cause the problem...
(This is speculation at present.)

Can you create an example of the problem using one very simple HTML
file and (say) two script files? (Three if you need it to make the
problem occur.) Paste them in Pastie[1] and drop us a link here, and
we'll try to figure it out.
FWIW, I've never had a problem with files getting loaded and executed
out of order. I find it very, very hard to believe that that's
actually happening (Alex, if you have a reference for your earlier

If that really _is_ happening, another way to solve it is to combine
all of your JavaScript files into one file as part of a build
process. There are good reasons for doing that anyway; more here.[2]

I don't create the objects until I get to main.js, which creates

MYAPP is an instance of the built-in Object object (i.e. a native

Even if MYAPP exists at this point, the above won't work: the only
native objects that can be used as constructors are function objects.
MYAPP is and native object, it can't be used as a constructor as it
doesn't have an internal [[consruct]] method (functions do).
Ooops, you're actually calling MYAPP.Class1 as a constructor, hey
nasty. You say the other script files don't to any instantiation, so
how do the MYAPP.Class1 and 2 properties get set?

[Proto-Scripty] Re: execution order in IE
Sometimes IE moans about the lack of a semi colon on the end of some Json'd
code
For example
var foo ={bar:function(){alert('Hi');}}
fails in some IE's (cant remember which one) but
var foo ={bar:function(){alert('Hi');};
Works in every browser - i had to update some code to fix similar errors on
my web desktop

occur:
1) script1.js is loaded
2) script1.js runs - it creates an object
3) script2.js is loaded
4) script2.js runs - it creates a different object that depends on
script1's object.
5) and so on
This works perfectly in Firefox and Safari, but fails about 25% of
the
time in IE. I've heard that IE will load JS files in the correct
order, but will not guarantee that they are executed in the same
order. How can I restructure my code or use Prototype to fix my
current code?

[Proto-Scripty] Re: execution order in IE
I added a semicolon to the end of my global wrapper var:
var MYAPP = {class1: null, class2: null};
But I still get the same order. I believe that since this is
executable code, IE doesn't care if it creates it AFTER I try to use
it.

Sometimes IE moans about the lack of a semi colon on the end of some Json'd
code
For example
var foo ={bar:function(){alert('Hi');}}
fails in some IE's (cant remember which one) but
var foo ={bar:function(){alert('Hi');};
Works in every browser - i had to update some code to fix similar errors on
my web desktop

Subject: [Proto-Scripty] Re: execution order in IE
^ great article!
Now I have another question. Here is my new workflow in an attempt to
execute files in the correct order across all browsers. It works in
IE8, but not in IE7. In IE7 I get an error saying object expected
on line 2 of main.js. This is not very descriptive; what does it
mean?
(1) include my global wrapper MYAPP.js:
MYAPP = {class1: null, class2: null}
(2) include Class1.js (no instantiation)
(3) include Class2.js (no instantiation)
(4) include main.js:
Event.observe(window, 'load', function() {
MYAPP.class1 = new MYAPP.Class1();
MYAPP.class2 = new MYAPP.Class2();
});

Instead of loading JS in the head, how do I do includes like
virtually all other languages? Isn't Scriptaculous loading Effects.js
and other files? How is it doing that?

If you need to garuntee that a variable,function or method exists i
would
always wait until the dom is ready or in each function that gets
called
test
the function,variable or method exists else timeout untill it does

Subject: [Proto-Scripty] execution order in IE
In my head, I'm loading several JS files. I'm expecting this to
occur:
1) script1.js is loaded
2) script1.js runs - it creates an object
3) script2.js is loaded
4) script2.js runs - it creates a different object that depends on
script1's object.
5) and so on
