hi,
im new to jQuery and to programming in general so i hope this isnt a
stupid question.
A have an accordion which is animated to open and close when a user
clicks a header div. The accordion holds a decent amount of content
which takes some time load in ie (and only ie for some reason) before
the javascript takes effect and closes the accordion to hide all the
data inside them.
Using the $(document).ready(function() I was able to have the page
load with the accordion closed (content hidden but headers visible). I
was very pleased with that.
Im now trying to have an animated gif load in when the dom is ready
and swap the gif for the accordion div once the page loads
completely. To accomplish this Im trying to use $
(document).ready(function() to show the gif and hide the accordion div
and then use window.onload to hide the gif and show the accordion div
as well as create the new instance of my accordion passing through
some parameters. The css manipulation works fine its the accordions
functionality that stops working and loads open for all the content to
be seen.
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/js/accordian-src.js"></
script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/js/jquery-1.2.6.min.js"></
script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('div#basic-accordian').hide(); /* show gif */
$('div#load').show(); /* hide accordion */
});
window.onload = function(){
$('div#load').hide(); /* hide gif */
$('div#basic-accordian').show('slow'); /* show accordion */
new Accordian('basic-accordian',5,'header_highlight'); /* supposed to
activate the accordion */
}
</script>
Anyone have any idea why the accordion stops working?
if i remove all the jquery code and js file the window.onload loads
the accordion correctly after the page loads. Once the jQuery code and
js file are put back in the accordion stops working.
Could it be a clash in code or am i just structuring it incorrectly or
missing something?
if i haven't provided enough information i can provide more.
Hope someone can help
this is driving me crazy
chris
