[RoR Spinoffs] [Newb] How I lazy load large elements?

People,

I''m a bit new to web technology.
I''ve worked through the AWR book and looked at a variety of RJS demos
online.

Suppose I have a splash page which has a variety of slow loading
elements.

Would it be possible to defer loading of them?

I''d like to get the important parts of the page loaded first so the
user see''s something quickly.

Then once they are loaded, I''d like to load the less important
elements.

I tried a few experiments with the JS onload() function but I''m not
quite getting it.

Help anyone?

Thanks,
Bob

Use the "Net" feature of the Firebug extension in Firefox.  Which  
files are coming in slowly?  That''s where you should start.

Re: [RoR Spinoffs] [Newb] How I lazy load large elements?

Tom,

I like your answer.

I need to step back and find out what is loading slowly.
I''ll learn about Firebug.

About lazy-loading...
I found something which will give me a good start.

The data I want to lazy-load is here:

/scaff/categs/list_all2

I want to put it here:

p id="r2c1categs"

This gets the job done:
<body onload="new Ajax.Updater(''r2c1categs'',
''/scaff/categs/
list_all2'')" >

I was having problems because onload() is ignored if I put it
in the wrong kind of tag.

body tag works good tho!

-Bob

You can do something like
Event.observe(window, ''load'', function() {
	// Stuff to do once page is done loading
});
