Show all hidden elements when a page loads with override?

I have a page that forces some JS to load on a page that I need to override. I can load a separate JS file to do this. I want to have the page do the .show for any of the .below-the-folds on the page. I guess the best way to say it is, I want all the "more" things on the page to be expanded when the page loads, rather than making a person click more to see what's below the fold on all these.
This is the JS I need to override, I can't change it since it's loaded by the app automatically. There can be more than one of the lists hidden, I'm not sure how much harder that makes things.
function MoreFacets($more_facets_div) {
this.$more_facets_div = $more_facets_div;
this.bind_events();
};
MoreFacets.prototype.bind_events = function() {
var self = this;
self.$more_facets_div.find('.more').on('click', function (e) {
$(this).siblings('.below-the-fold').show();
$(this).hide();
});
self.$more_facets_div.find('.less').on('click', function (e) {
$(this).parent().hide();
$(this).parent().parent().find('.more').show();
});
};
$(function() {
$('.more-facets').each(function() {
new MoreFacets($(this));
});
});
It's loaded on the page and the HTML looks like this:
<h3>Additional filters: </h3>
<dl id="facets">
<dt>Collecting Area</dt>
<dd> Here's Something in the list</dd>
<dd> Here's the last in the list</dd>
<div class="more-facets">
<span class="more btn">∨ more</span>
<div class="below-the-fold">
<dd>Something That's hidden is here</dd>
<dd>Something more in this hidden list</dd>
So when the ∨ more is clicked is when the others below-the-fold appear, and that's what I want to load when the page loads. There's usually a few different lists like this on the page.
So I'm thinking what I need to do is something like run the ('.below-the-fold').show() for all the lists when the page loads?
Update A note to clarify: when the page loads now they're all hidden. I'd like them to all show when the page is loaded so no one has to click anything to have everything showing.
Another note based on another question below... It's loaded in a separate file, and I can load my file before that one. I do know that I can override other JS on the page, so I assume I can override this as well.

Based on your last edit, it sounds like you're already onto the fastest solution to your problem.
Please note, this will only work if the script is not loaded asynchronously, but if you have control of the order the scripts are loaded in, you can insert your script between the problem script and jQuery.
Your script can be something as easy as redefining the function it's using to something like this:
MoreFacets.prototype.bind_events = function() {
var self = this;
//Autostart in our open state without completely disabling the functionality
self.$more_facets_div.find('.below-the-fold').show();
self.$more_facets_div.find('.more').hide();
self.$more_facets_div.find('.more').on('click', function (e) {
$(this).siblings('.below-the-fold').show();
$(this).hide();
});
self.$more_facets_div.find('.less').on('click', function (e) {
$(this).parent().hide();
$(this).parent().parent().find('.more').show();
});
};
Now, that won't work if you don't have control over the script loading, but you might have hope even in that case, because document ready functions in jQuery are invoked in the order they're registered, so if you can't really control where your script is you might play with an alternative
$(function() {
$('.more-facets').each(function() {
$(this).find('.below-the-fold').show();
$(this).find('.more').hide();
});
});
The first will be cleaner, but the second is a fallback for more restrictive situations, and both should achieve your desired effect without completely removing the functionality, just changing the default state on load.

jquery not quick enough to take effect

I have a need to add a class to certain pages - ones that contain an ID of #hero. For all other pages, the class must not be added.
Because I'm using asp.net with a few layered master pages, its not as simple as just adding a class directly to the html becuase the body tag sits a couple of pages above the aspx page.
I could locate the body tag, but so far I've tried to avoid that due to the added complexity, and instead tried to use jquery.
Here's the code:
$(document).ready(function () {
updateBodyClasses();
});
function updateBodyClasses() {
if($("#hero")) {
$("html, body").addClass("hero");
}
}
Nothing complicated, but here's the rub. By the time the class has been appended, the page has been rendered and the class doesn't seem to have any effect. However, if I test it by adding the class directly to the html, it works - so I know the CSS works and that its a timing issue.
I suppose I could add the code higher up the page - jquery is deferred, so I would need to know the equivalent javascript to try it out.
Would appreciate any thoughts on this potential solution, or perhaps and other ideas.
/* UPDATE */
For clarity, it seems to be the HTML related class that isn't being applied.

You can alter the DOM without waiting for it to be ready.
You need to:
load jQuery in a synchronous way(without defer or async).
Put #hero element i above the script.
Please consider this example:
.red {
color: red;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="hero">I don't care about DOM being ready</div>
<script>
var $el = $('#hero');
if ($el.length) {
$el.addClass('red');
}
</script>

You can use IIFE(Immidiately Invocked Function Expression):
like:
(function()
{
if($("#hero")) {
$("html, body").addClass("hero");
}
})();

just put your function in document ready like
$(function(){
if($("#hero")) {
$("html, body").addClass("hero");
}
});

No real solution provided.
Not reasitic to change the whole site infrastructure - from one that defers jquery to loading it synchronously.
The two other jquery answers are as per the current setup and don't work.
The only working solution was provided by Tushar, although it would still require selective loading of the script, which was not included in the answer.
In the end, I used a workaround, which bypassed the need for any javascript. Instead of selectively adding a class to html tag, I added the css permanently to the html tag, affecting all pages. I then added an inner div, which reverses it out. This means that any page can now manipulate its own functionality directly without having to add classes to the html tag.

Can't load HTML code into a div when an image button is clicked

So I am making a website for radio streams and was told I should use Jquery and AJAX to load the HTML files into a div on button click so that I wouldn't have to make the user load a completely new HTML page for each radio stream. But I am a bit lost since I am new to this language and I am not entirely sure what I am doing wrong.
Currently I have a index.html page that loads each individual div and loads all the available radio stations in an iframe linking to an HTML file. In this HTML file there are around 40 buttons that each have to link to their own radio stream. On a button press I want said stream to load into the 'radio player' div for a smooth transition.
After trying to google the problem I was told to do this with the following JavaScript code:
$(function(){
$(".538").click(function(){
$("#div3").load("/includes/about-info.html");
});
});
Since each button is also showing its own image file, I tried to add class="538 to each image source so the JavaScript knows what is targeted. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work at all and I have no clue what to do. I tried to do this in a separate index.js file which unfortunately didn't work, so I tried to use the JavaScript code in the HTML file itself, and this didn't seem to do the trick either.
TL/DR: trying to load HTML code in a div when an image button is clicked.
Is there perhaps a tutorial for this available? I tried to search the web but couldn't find anything at all. If anyone is able to help me out with this problem I'd love you forever.

I think what's happening is that you're working with dynamic elements. More importantly you should never use numbers to start off either a class name or id.
Unless you post a bit more code it's hard to figure out exactly what you're wanting to do.
If you work with dynamic html the click event won't work, because well you need do dynamically bind the event listener.
For that you can use
$('#dynamicElement').on('click', function() {
$(this).find('#elementYouWantToLoadInto').load('/includes/about-info.html');
});
The above code works if the element is nested in the button. If it's an external element then use.
$('#dynamicElement').on('click',function() {
$('#elementYouWantToLoadInto').load('/includes/abount-info.html');
});

You mentioned that this language is a bit new to you; If you're open to a bit of refactoring:
Your main page should have 2 sections:
<div id='myButtons'>
<input type='radio' data-url='/includes/about-info.html' />
<...>
</div>
<div id='myContent'></div>
<script>
$(function() { //jquery syntax - waits for the page to load before running
$('#myButtons').on('click', 'input', function() { // jquery: any click from an input inside of myButtons will be caught)
var button = $(this),
url = button.data('url'),
content = $('#myContent');
content.load(url);
});
</script>
Jquery: http://api.jquery.com/

you can try this
$('#myButtons').on('click', 'input', function() {
$.get("about-info.html", function(data) {
$("#div3").html(data);
});
});
or
$(document).ready(function(){
$(function(){
$(".radio538").click(function(){
$("#div3").load("/includes/about-info.html");
});
});
})

$(document).ready(function(){
$('#radio1').on('click',function(){
#('#loadradiohere').load('/includes/about-info.html');
});
});
Try that code in your .js file. I am still working for a similar project man.

Call function anytime a link is moused over on an arbitrary page?

I apologize for the possibly naive nature of this question but I am not a web developer by day.
Is it possible to write a script such that, for any arbitrary web page, a function that I have written will be called if a URL is moused over? I was initially thinking that I could use document.links to assemble an array of all of the hrefs in a document and add an onmouseover event attribute to each of them but, unless I'm mistaken, that would overwrite any existing onmouseover attributes already present in the page. Not ideal.

I'm not sure if by arbitrary web page you mean any pages on any domains or any pages of your own domain, but for the latter you could put something like the following in your pages:
$(function () {
$(document).on('mouseenter', 'a', function () {
console.log(this, 'hovered');
});
});
If you mean any page your browse to on the net, then you will have to write a browser extension for the browser your are using. For Chrome have a look at this.

You could try getting everything with the a tag and inject an onmouseover.
window.onload = function(){
for(m=0;m<document.getElementsByTagName('a');m++){
if(document.getElementsByTagName('a')[m].className == 'someclass'){
document.getElementsByTagName('a')[m].onmouseover = function(){
Your Code
}
}
}
}

jQuery each doesn't work with certain classes, or classes in general?

I'm using Phonegap to build a small (test only) Macrumors application, and remote hosts actually work (there is no same host browser restrictions). I am using the jQuery Load() function to load the contents of the Macrumors homepage http://www.macrumors.com/ into a bin, hidden div, then the each function to loop through all the article classes to show the title in a box with a link to the page.
The problem is, after the Macrumors HTML content is loaded, the each function doesn't work with the article class. Also, in the load function (which allows you to specify certain selectors, id's and classes included, to only load in those sections of the page) the class doesn't work; none of the classes do, in both the load function and each function. And many Id's don't work in the each function either.
Can anybody explain this to a noob like me?
Here is the code:
function onDeviceReady()
{
// do your thing!
$('#bin').load('http://www.macrumors.com/ #content');
$('.article').each(function(){
var title = $('a').html();
$('#content').append('<b>'+title+'</b>')
});
}
And the HTML stuff
<body onload="onBodyLoad()">
<div id="bin">
</div>
<div id="content">
</div>
</body>
I sincerely apologize if there's some very simple mistake here that I'm missing; I'm a major JS newbie.

.load() is asychronous. It hasn't completed yet when you're executing .each(). You need to put your .each() and any other code that wants to operate on the results of the .load() in the success handler for .load().
You would do that like this:
function onDeviceReady()
{
// do your thing!
$('#bin').load('http://www.macrumors.com/ #content', function() {
$('.article').each(function(){
var title = $('a').html();
$('#content').append('<b>'+title+'</b>')
});
});
}
I'm also guessing that your .each() function isn't working quite right. If you want to get the link out of each .article object, you would need your code to be like this so that you're only finding the <a> tag in each .article object, not all <a> tags in the whole document:
function onDeviceReady()
{
// do your thing!
$('#bin').load('http://www.macrumors.com/ #content', function() {
$('.article').each(function(){
var title = $(this).find('a').html();
$('#content').append('<b>'+title+'</b>')
});
});
}
