[Javascript] Sleep, or something else...

Fri Aug 18 15:01:14 CDT 2006

Try to do this:

if(!document.getElementById('msgsubject')) showCompose();

 setTimeout("

document.getElementById('msgto').value = document.getElementById('msgto').value + toid + ";";

document.getElementById('msgtoname').innerHTML = document.getElementById('msgtoname').innerHTML + toname + "; ";

",500);

It would make a sllep until the objects has been created.

If needed, you ought to increase the time of setTimeout.

Hope help.

  I have this:

  if(!document.getElementById('msgsubject')) showCompose();

  document.getElementById('msgto').value = document.getElementById('msgto').value + toid + ";";

  document.getElementById('msgtoname').innerHTML = document.getElementById('msgtoname').innerHTML + toname + "; ";

  The showCompose() creates element with id msgto and msgtoname. However, it is not recorded. However, if I put an alert() in between it detects it. This makes me believe that it is actually going a little bit too fast for my script, so that the msgto and msgtoname does not have time to be created, so they can not be found (error in script). The alert() seam to give the script enough time for the elements to be created, and it works, hrm :)

  Anyone with insights?
