I'm executing an external script, using a <script>
inside <head>
.
Now since the script executes before the page has loaded, I can't access the <body>
, among other things. I'd like to execute some JavaScript after the document has been "loaded" (HTML fully downloaded and in-RAM). Are there any events that I can hook onto when my script executes, that will get triggered on page load?
These solutions will work:
As mentioned in comments use defer :
<script src="deferMe.js" defer></script>
or
<body onload="script();">
or
document.onload = function ...
or even
window.onload = function ...
Note that the last option is a better way to go since it is unobstrusive and is considered more standard .
<script src="script.js" defer></script>
Using defer will trigger after domInteractive (document.readyState = "interactive") and just before "DOMContentLoaded" Event is triggered. If you need to execute the script after all resources (images, scripts) are loaded use "load" event or target one of the document.readyState states. Read further down for more information about those events / states, as well as async and defer attributes corresponding to script fetching and execution timing.
This Boolean attribute is set to indicate to a browser that the script is meant to be executed after the document has been parsed, but before firing DOMContentLoaded.
Scripts with the defer attribute will prevent the DOMContentLoaded event from firing until the script has loaded and finished evaluating.
Resource: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script#attributes
* See the images at the bottom for feather explanation.
This event is fired when the initial HTML document has been completely loaded and parsed , without waiting for style sheets, images, and subframes to finish loading. At this stage you could programmatically optimize loading of images and CSS based on user device or bandwidth speed.
Executes after DOM is loaded (before images and CSS):
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(){ //.... });
Note: Synchronous JavaScript pauses parsing of the DOM. If you want the DOM to get parsed as fast as possible after the user requested the page, you could turn your JavaScript asynchronous and optimize loading of style sheets
Executes after everything is loaded and parsed:
document.addEventListener("load", function(){ // .... });
MDN Resources: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/DOMContentLoaded https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/load
MDN list of all events:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events
// Place in header (do not use async or defer) document.addEventListener('readystatechange', event => { switch (document.readyState) { case "loading": console.log("document.readyState: ", document.readyState, `- The document is still loading.` ); break; case "interactive": console.log("document.readyState: ", document.readyState, `- The document has finished loading DOM. `, `- "DOMContentLoaded" event` ); break; case "complete": console.log("document.readyState: ", document.readyState, `- The page DOM with Sub-resources are now fully loaded. `, `- "load" event` ); break; } });
MDN Resources: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/readyState
If your script uses async or defer read this: https://flaviocopes.com/javascript-async-defer/
Reasonably portable, non-framework way of having your script set a function to run at load time:
if(window.attachEvent) {
window.attachEvent('onload', yourFunctionName);
} else {
if(window.onload) {
var curronload = window.onload;
var newonload = function(evt) {
curronload(evt);
yourFunctionName(evt);
};
window.onload = newonload;
} else {
window.onload = yourFunctionName;
}
}
You can put a "onload" attribute inside the body
...<body onload="myFunction()">...
Or if you are using jQuery, you can do
$(document).ready(function(){ /*code here*/ })
or
$(window).load(function(){ /*code here*/ })
I hope it answer your question.
Note that the $(window).load will execute after the document is rendered on your page.
If the scripts are loaded within the <head>
of the document, then it's possible use the defer
attribute in script tag.
Example:
<script src="demo_defer.js" defer></script>
From https://developer.mozilla.org :
defer
This Boolean attribute is set to indicate to a browser that the script is meant to be executed after the document has been parsed, but before firing DOMContentLoaded.
This attribute must not be used if the src attribute is absent (ie for inline scripts), in this case it would have no effect.
To achieve a similar effect for dynamically inserted scripts use async=false instead. Scripts with the defer attribute will execute in the order in which they appear in the document.
Here's a script based on deferred js loading after the page is loaded,
<script type="text/javascript">
function downloadJSAtOnload() {
var element = document.createElement("script");
element.src = "deferredfunctions.js";
document.body.appendChild(element);
}
if (window.addEventListener)
window.addEventListener("load", downloadJSAtOnload, false);
else if (window.attachEvent)
window.attachEvent("onload", downloadJSAtOnload);
else window.onload = downloadJSAtOnload;
</script>
Where do I place this?
Paste code in your HTML just before the
</body>
tag (near the bottom of your HTML file).
What does it do?
This code says wait for the entire document to load, then load the external file
deferredfunctions.js
.
Here's an example of the above code - Defer Rendering of JS
I wrote this based on defered loading of javascript pagespeed google concept and also sourced from this article Defer loading javascript
document.addEventListener('readystatechange', event => {
// When HTML/DOM elements are ready:
if (event.target.readyState === "interactive") { //does same as: ..addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded"..
alert("hi 1");
}
// When window loaded ( external resources are loaded too- `css`,`src`, etc...)
if (event.target.readyState === "complete") {
alert("hi 2");
}
});
$(document).ready(function() { //same as: $(function() {
alert("hi 1");
});
$(window).load(function() {
alert("hi 2");
});
NOTE: - Don't use the below markup ( because it overwrites other same-kind declarations ) :
document.onreadystatechange = ...
查看挂钩document.onload
或 jQuery $(document).load(...)
。
Working Fiddle on <body onload="myFunction()">
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function myFunction(){
alert("Page is loaded");
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="myFunction()">
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
</body>
</html>
<script type="text/javascript">
function downloadJSAtOnload() {
var element = document.createElement("script");
element.src = "defer.js";
document.body.appendChild(element);
}
if (window.addEventListener)
window.addEventListener("load", downloadJSAtOnload, false);
else if (window.attachEvent)
window.attachEvent("onload", downloadJSAtOnload);
else window.onload = downloadJSAtOnload;

I find sometimes on more complex pages that not all the elements have loaded by the time window.onload is fired. If that's the case, add setTimeout before your function to delay is a moment. It's not elegant but it's a simple hack that renders well.
window.onload = function(){ doSomethingCool(); };
becomes...
window.onload = function(){ setTimeout( function(){ doSomethingCool(); }, 1000); };
If you are using jQuery,
$(function() {...});
is equivalent to
$(document).ready(function () { })
or another short hand:
$().ready(function () { })
See What event does JQuery $function() fire on? and https://api.jquery.com/ready/
document.onreadystatechange = function(){
if(document.readyState === 'complete'){
/*code here*/
}
}
look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/ms536957(v=vs.85).aspx
Just define <body onload="aFunction()">
that will be called after the page has been loaded. Your code in the script is than enclosed by aFunction() { }
.
The DOMContentLoaded event fires when the initial HTML document has been completely loaded and parsed, without waiting for stylesheets, images, and subframes to finish loading.
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', (event) => { console.log('DOM fully loaded and parsed'); });
The load event is fired when the whole page has loaded, including all dependent resources such as stylesheets and images. This is in contrast to DOMContentLoaded, which is fired as soon as the page DOM has been loaded, without waiting for resources to finish loading.
window.addEventListener('load', (event) => { console.log('page is fully loaded'); });
<body onload="myFunction()">
This code works well.
But window.onload
method has various dependencies. So it may not work all the time.
In below snippet I collect choosen methods and show their sequence. Remarks
document.onload
(X) is not supported by any modern browser (event is never fired )<body onload="bodyOnLoad()">
(F) and at the same time window.onload
(E) then only first one will be executed (because it override second one)<body onload="...">
(F) is wrapped by additional onload
function document.onreadystatechange
(D) not override document .addEventListener('readystatechange'...)
(C) probably cecasue onXYZevent-like
methods are independent than addEventListener
queues (which allows add multiple listeners). Probably nothing happens between execution this two handlers.div
write their timestamps also in body (click "Full Page" link after script execution to see it).readystatechange
(C,D) are executed multiple times by browser but for different document states:
DOMContentLoaded
body/window onload
<html> <head> <script> // solution A console.log(`[timestamp: ${Date.now()}] A: Head script`); // solution B document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => { print(`[timestamp: ${Date.now()}] B: DOMContentLoaded`); }); // solution C document.addEventListener('readystatechange', () => { print(`[timestamp: ${Date.now()}] C: ReadyState: ${document.readyState}`); }); // solution D document.onreadystatechange = s=> {print(`[timestamp: ${Date.now()}] D: document.onreadystatechange ReadyState: ${document.readyState}`)}; // solution E (never executed) window.onload = () => { print(`E: <body onload="..."> override this handler`); }; // solution F function bodyOnLoad() { print(`[timestamp: ${Date.now()}] F: <body onload='...'>`); infoAboutOnLoad(); // additional info } // solution X document.onload = () => {print(`document.onload is never fired`)}; // HELPERS function print(txt) { console.log(txt); if(mydiv) mydiv.innerHTML += txt.replace('<','<').replace('>','>') + '<br>'; } function infoAboutOnLoad() { console.log("window.onload (after override):", (''+document.body.onload).replace(/\s+/g,' ')); console.log(`body.onload==window.onload --> ${document.body.onload==window.onload}`); } console.log("window.onload (before override):", (''+document.body.onload).replace(/\s+/g,' ')); </script> </head> <body onload="bodyOnLoad()"> <div id="mydiv"></div> <!-- this script must te at the bottom of <body> --> <script> // solution G print(`[timestamp: ${Date.now()}] G: <body> bottom script`); </script> </body> </html>
There is a very good documentation on How to detect if document has loaded using Javascript or Jquery.
Using the native Javascript this can be achieved
if (document.readyState === "complete") {
init();
}
This can also be done inside the interval
var interval = setInterval(function() {
if(document.readyState === 'complete') {
clearInterval(interval);
init();
}
}, 100);
switch (document.readyState) {
case "loading":
// The document is still loading.
break;
case "interactive":
// The document has finished loading. We can now access the DOM elements.
var span = document.createElement("span");
span.textContent = "A <span> element.";
document.body.appendChild(span);
break;
case "complete":
// The page is fully loaded.
console.log("Page is loaded completely");
break;
}
Using Jquery To check only if DOM is ready
// A $( document ).ready() block.
$( document ).ready(function() {
console.log( "ready!" );
});
To check if all resources are loaded use window.load
$( window ).load(function() {
console.log( "window loaded" );
});
Use this code with jQuery library, this would work perfectly fine.
$(window).bind("load", function() {
// your javascript event
});
$(window).on("load", function(){ ... });
.ready() works best for me.
$(document).ready(function(){ ... });
.load() will work, but it won't wait till the page is loaded.
jQuery(window).load(function () { ... });
Doesn't work for me, breaks the next-to inline script. I am also using jQuery 3.2.1 along with some other jQuery forks.
To hide my websites loading overlay, I use the following:
<script>
$(window).on("load", function(){
$('.loading-page').delay(3000).fadeOut(250);
});
</script>
You can write a function on a specific script file and call it in to your body element using onload attribute.
Exemple:
<script>
afterPageLoad() {
//your code here
}
</script>
Now call your script into your html page using script tag:
<script src="afterload.js"></script>
into your body element; add onload attribute like this:
<body onload="afterPageLoad();">
As Daniel says, you could use document.onload.
The various javascript frameworks hwoever (jQuery, Mootools, etc.) use a custom event 'domready', which I guess must be more effective. If you're developing with javascript, I'd highly recommend exploiting a framework, they massively increase your productivity.
Using the YUI library (I love it):
YAHOO.util.Event.onDOMReady(function(){
//your code
});
Portable and beautiful! However, if you don't use YUI for other stuff (see its doc) I would say that it's not worth to use it.
NB : to use this code you need to import 2 scripts
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.7.0/build/yahoo/yahoo-min.js" ></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.7.0/build/event/event-min.js" ></script>
My advise use asnyc
attribute for script tag thats help you to load the external scripts after page load
<script type="text/javascript" src="a.js" async></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="b.js" async></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> $(window).bind("load", function() { // your javascript event here }); </script>
use self execution onload function
window.onload = function (){
/* statements */
}();
i can catch page load by this code
<script>
console.log("logger saber");
window.onload = (event) => {
console.log('page is fully loaded');
document.getElementById("tafahomNameId_78ec7c44-beab-40de-9326-095f474519f4_$LookupField").value = 1;;
};
</script>
