Hi all,
It's been one of the long-standing, advanced issues discussed here: how
to dynamically load various Simile Widget APIs on-the-fly, especially
because there's no way to change the <head> of the page within your web
publishing platform. The challenge is to ensure that the many js files
to be loaded asynchronously are loaded in the right order.
I'm starting to experiment with a solution--here's 2 examples in which
all APIs are loaded only when a button is clicked:
http://trunk.simile-widgets.org/timeline/examples/test_dynamic_loading/fully_dynamic.html
http://trunk.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/examples/test_dynamic_loading/fully_dynamic.html
(ignore the Google Maps "wrong key" alert)
Here's a simpler example in which the APIs are loaded from <script>
inside <body> rather than inside <head>:
http://trunk.simile-widgets.org/timeline/examples/test_dynamic_loading/body_scripts.html
I've tested these on
- Firefox 3, Mac OS X and Windows
- Safari 4, Mac OS X
- IE8
- Chrome
Please let me know if they don't work for you on some particular
browser. (This new dynamic loading support has not been released yet.
What you're seeing are the development versions of the APIs.)
The solution involves generating "compilations", basically a single js
file for each locale that includes all the js code. All compilations
support the same way for specifying a callback.
Thanks,
David
