That`s why you have a callback for ajax functions. AJAX stands for
*asynchronous* Javascript and XML. That means the ajax call doesn't
wait for the answer to return. It fires the call, returns the XHR
object and the script goes on. When something is returned, the
callback function is fired, and in there you must handle the data.
function paint() {
$("#mid").load("paint.htm", function(){
$('#colorpicker').farbtastic('#color');
});
};
Check the docs for more information (docs.jquery.com/Ajax)
