set time out in JavaScript

Question

Firefox always loads dynamic images, but IE it just shows images without any dynamic action. what changes I need to do?

JavaScript code from IE view source code:

<script type=”text/javascript”
    <!--/*--><![CDATA[/*><!--*/ 
    if (document.getElementById("safeForm1d3").submitted.value == "false") { 
      document.getElementById("safeForm1d3").submitted.value = "true"; 
      setTimeout('document.getElementById("safeForm1d3").submit()', 100); 
    }else{ 
    document.getElementById("toHide").style.display="none"; 
    }/*-->]]>*/
</script>

I am using Wicket framework, so real java code is:

 static private class SafeSubmitBehaviour extends AbstractBehavior{
    public void onRendered( Component component ) {
      super.onRendered( component );      
      StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer(200);
      buffer.append("<script type=\"text/javascript\" ><!--/*--><![CDATA[/*><!--*/\n");
      buffer.append("if (document.getElementById(\"").append(component.getMarkupId()).append("\").submitted.value == \"false\") {\n");
      buffer.append("document.getElementById(\"").append(component.getMarkupId()).append("\").submitted.value = \"true\";\n");
      buffer.append("setTimeout('document.getElementById(\"").append(component.getMarkupId()).append("\").submit()', 100);\n}else{\n");
      buffer.append("document.getElementById(\"toHide\").style.display=\"none\";\n}/*-->]]>*/</script>");      
      component.getResponse().write(buffer);
    }  
  } 

html page which loads my dynamic image is:

<div id="toHide" class="pb-text-align-center">
        <img style="display: inline" src="img/load.gif" />
            <form wicket:id="safeForm" class="clearfix">
            <input type="hidden" wicket:id="submitted" value="false" />
        </form>
</div>

Answer 1

var safeForm4d = document.getElementById("safeForm4d");
if ( safeForm4d.submitted.value == "false" ){
   safeForm4d.submitted.value = "true";
   setTimeout(function(){ safeForm4d.submit(); }, 100);
}else{
   document.getElementById("toHide").style.display="none";
}

Answer 2

two things:

1. The correct usage of setTiemout() is:

   setTimeout(function(){
       document.getElementById("safeForm4d").submit();
   }, 100);
   

2. Your using wicket. The wicket:id is nothing the DOM knows. You have to assign an ID and use this one like you did it with the form itself.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

solved my problem. may be useful for others:

Answer:

HTML source code:

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript"> 
    var $ = jQuery.noConflict(); 
    document.getElementById('toHide').style.display ="";
    $('#toHide').doTimeout(1000, function() { 
        $('#toHide').find('#safeForm34').submit(); 
        document.getElementById('myAnimatedImage').src = "../../img/load.gif"; 
        });
</SCRIPT>

html:

  <div id="toHide" class="pb-text-align-center">
    <img src="img/load.gif" id='myAnimatedImage' style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"/>
    <form wicket:id="safeForm" class="clearfix" />
</div>

Answer 4

function setsubmit()
{
   document.getElementById("safeFormec").submit();
}

setTimeout('setsubmit()',100);

Answer 5

Include this in the head

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

and have

 static private class SafeSubmitBehaviour extends AbstractBehavior{
    public void onRendered( Component component ) {
      super.onRendered( component );      
      StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer(200);
      buffer.append("<script type=\"text/javascript\" >\n");
      buffer.append("var input = $(\"input[name='submitted']\");\n");
      buffer.append("if (input.val() == \"false\") {\n"); 
      buffer.append("  input.val(\"true\");\n"); 
      buffer.append("  setTimeout(function(){ $(\"#").append(component.getMarkupId()).append("\").submit()}, 100);\n"); 
      buffer.append("}\n");
      buffer.append("else {\n $(\"#toHide\").hide();\n}"); 
      component.getResponse().write(buffer);
    }  
  } 

which should render

var input = $("input[name='submitted']");
if (input.val() == "false") { 
  input.val("true"); 
  setTimeout(function(){ $("#safeForm1d3").submit()}, 100); 
}else{ 
  $("#toHide").hide(); 
}

Where would you do the $("#toHide").show(); ?

Answer 6

Because setTimeout() requires your function to be passed as a string or as an anonymous function:

setTimeout(function() { document.getElementById("safeFormec").submit(); }, 100);
