Is it posible to now show loading when load addThis? - javascript

If the script tag is after addthis div. It slow down loading of the page, I don't care that it slow down, but I would like to now show that the page is sill loading (google chrome show load favicon). I removed the script tag and put it to $(funcion) in my external file where all my jQuery code is. But when script is loaded it still show loading favicon.
var src = 'http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=boobaloo';
$.getScript(src);
I also try to use
$('<script/>').attr('src', src).appendTo('head');
Is it posible to load addthis buttons and don't show that page is still loading? Can someone explain why it show that the page is loading?

Try to include "addthis" script in a separate function and call the function wherever you want. Also call the method using setTimeout. Eg:- setTimeout('AddthisMethod', 1000);

Load page in background

is it possible to load web page in background using javascript/jquery? I mean load DOM, run all scripts, load all dependencies (CSS, external JS libraries). I don't want to load HTML and replace it. It's easy to do but will cause all styles/scripts to be loaded after replacement, not before (as far as I know).
The reason is that page loading time is 10-20s and I don't want page to freeze during loading content. There is single JS script which takes 2-4s to initialize. The idea is to show some placeholder page like "page is loading, please wait" and load everything in background.
I know page should be rebuilt so it doesn't take so much time to load but it's not possible in page owner's budget.
EDIT: I thought about loading page in iframe and then move iframe's content to the main body. Would it work? Wouldn't I loose some JS/Jquery data, pointers to DOM elements etc.? Wouldn't it cause to reload all JS?

CSS is loading slow when loading a new page without refresh

I am trying to load different pages with refresh using jquery with the help of window.history.pushState('','',url);
function goto(event,el)
{
url=el.href;
event.preventDefault();
window.history.pushState('','',url);
//$('html').load(url);
$.get(url, function(data) {
var head=data.match(/<head[^>]*>[\s\S]*<\/head>/gi);
$('head').html(head[0]);
//$('#content').html($(data).find('#content').html());
var body=data.match(/<body[^>]*>[\s\S]*<\/body>/gi)
$('body').html(body[0]);
});
}
HTML is loading before CSS and there will be around 1-2 second of naked html display then css is loading completely
All my pages are different so i have to load different css, script everytime.
Is there any way to load the css quicker than the html or is there ant better way to load whole page or replace the current page content with new page.
I really don't want to use any plugin
The simple solution is try using Spinner or loader on page load, which prevents you naked HTML form Users

How to show Page Loading div until the page has finished loading

Defer iframe loading so no broswer loading indication is shown

I have an html page with a pretty heavy iframe embedded there. I need to start loading that iframe after everything is already loaded in order not to block the whole page loading. I've tried setting its src attribute with JS after everything else is done. But when I do it this way the browser tab still says the loading is in process (there's a spinner instead of the favicon). How can I prevent that effect and load that iframe "silently"?
You could use the following (also using jQuery):
$('iframe').hide().attr('src', 'http://example.com').load(function() {
$(this).show();
}

Is it possible to place a loader image inside an iframe while its loading its content?

I'm working inside a Facebook tab iframe content page and since it takes a few seconds to appears the iframe content of my site I'm wondering If I can place a loading gif inside the iframe to show first (maybe as a body background image) while its loading the rest of the content.
I see that the iframe ussually cames with all the images. So I'm wondering If there's any way to do this or the content of the iframe loads and is displayed all together.
I tried the image as body background and it didn't work. Both came together.
You can't modify the contents of an iframe that comes from a different domain.
But, you can use absolute positioning from your main window to put an image over the top of the embedded iframe which can probably accomplish what you want without a lot of complication or change of your main page design.
Here's an example: http://jsfiddle.net/jfriend00/DajS4
If your code is in the iframe and you want something displayed before your page loads into the iframe and you don't control the parent, then there is nothing to do. You can't do anything dynamically until your code is loaded and by then the page will already be starting to show.
All you can do is to make something on your page load very, very quickly (perhaps like a small image in the first tag of the page) that should be one of the first things to show and then when your page successfully finishes loading, you would hide that small image. Other than making something show quickly, you can't do anything until you load so you can't show anything before you load. It would have to be the parent window that created you that did something earlier.
Umm,
I understand what you are trying to achieve. but the only way i know to achieve this would be to use ajax to load all your content.
Set the ajax function to run on page load. And in the body of the page place one of those gif loaders..
hope u understand what im trying to say!
You can use AJAX to load your page.
<div id="loading">loading..</div>
<div id="content" style="display:none"></div>
$(function() {
$('#content').load('http://url', function() {
$('#loading').hide();
$(this).show();
}
});
note: the location of all your javascript should be at the bottom of the page to improve load speed.

When do you choose to load your javascript at the bottom of the page instead of the top?

I have seen JavaScript libraries being loaded at the top and bottom of the page.
I would love to know when to make these choices. All the JavaScript code I've written all work at the top of the page, which includes jquery plugins.
When do i load my script at any of these positions?
Top: When having JavaScript events function on elements immediately is more important (so if you use a DOM Ready event to load everything, this is the wrong place)
Bottom: When loading the content is more important
Yahoo says to Put Scripts at the Bottom. Google says something similar but not as clearly.
The reason you do it at the bottom of the page is because if you put it at the top of your page then the rendering of your page will wait for these files before it renders. This is why a lot of people put JavaScript at the bottom of the page as it allows the entire page to be rendered then the JavaScript is loaded.
There's very rarely any reason you'd want to put the JavaScript at the top of the page, and unless you have an explicit reason you want the JavaScript loaded in before the main page then put it at the bottom. Most optimization guides suggest putting it at the bottom for this reason.
I place all CSS in the HEAD to avoid excessive screen paintings and flashes of style.
I place most JavaScript file requests at the bottom of the page so that the page can render quickly (HTML/CSS loading will block until script tags above them have been loaded and processed). Any code that needs to be executed after the library files have loaded are executed onDOMReady, which is all code except for library initialization. I pretty much followed Google's PageSpeed recommendations.
I've been thinking about using LABjs as well to further decrease page load times, but this works well enough right now.
When the browser encounters a script element it has to evalute the JavaScript contained in that element because the script might alter the content of the page (via document.write) or inspect the current state of the page.
If the script element loads script using the src attribute, loading of other resources (JavaScript, CSS, images, etc.) will be blocked until the current script is loaded.
Both of these factors can slow down the perceived load time of your page.
If your JavaScript does not alter the page or if it doesn't need to inspect the state of the page until it has loaded you can mark your script element with defer="defer" (supported by IE 6+ and Firefox 3.5+) which indicates that the evaluation of the script can happen "later". Moving your script elements to the bottom of the page effectively does the same thing - since your scripts appear at the end of the document they'll be evaluated after CSS, images, etc. are loaded and the HTML is rendered.
Because of the fact that browsers have to pause displaying content of a page when it's parsing a Javascript file, the recommendation is to load the Javascript at the bottom of the page to speed up displaying a page's content. This works best if your website can be rendered without any Javascript executing to modify the page because the page will be available for user interaction even if a script hangs for longer than expected.
I put all external scripts (such as Google analytics) at the bottom so their lag does not effect the loading of the DOM.
Simply put, if your script have snippets that would start executing right away (outside all function(){} bodies) and that access DOM elements, it should go at the end of the page so that DOM would have been built and be ready to be accessed by the time the script starts executing.
If you are accessing DOM only from function calls (like onload, onclick etc), you can put the script safely in the head section itself.
I put a small script in the head that does anything I want done before the rest of the page renders, and loads any other required scripts onload, or as needed after the document loads.
