Setting the innerHTML of a div w/ a <script src=xxx></script> tag was one of the first thigs I tried, but alas, it doesn't seem to work very well. I agree that under normal circumstances on a half way decent connection, the downloading of javascript shouldn't be much of an issue, but in this case, the SRC javascript URL actually points to a java servlet that processes a query that I pass, then goes to Google to get sponsored links, then retuns them in a javascript array. The round trip takes a noticible amount of time, which was my motivation to make the request after the rest of the page is rendered.
I'll keep researching and let you guys know if I come up w/ anything. -Matt On Sat, 19 Mar 2005, Bj wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Matt C." > > > Yea, what I'm trying to do is load an external JS file after the > > page is rendered, so it doesn't wait to load it before the page > > is displayed to the user. > > Even on a dialup connection, I'd be surprised any normal amount of JS code > would cause a noticeable delay while it was loading, usually it's got to be > many KB's worth of data like a large graphic. > > Anyway you can delay *execution* of code till after the page is displayed by > putting it in a function and calling it from body onLoad, but I can't think > of a good way to to delay *loading* of what is essentially part of the page > till then.
