Hi Howard, including Javascript files at the end of the page may increase page-load times, but for me it introduces an unwanted usability issue.
I am rendering a couple of questions on a single page and answering them should work for the user without Javascript. If Javascript is enabled, I want to enhance the user-experience by hiding some area to better focus the attention of the user on the important parts. If I add my collapse-script using the @IncludeJavaScriptLibrary annotation, the page is displayed in the browser and then you _see_ the areas being collapsed. If the js-files are included in the head-section of the page, they are loaded first and the areas are collapsed _before_ the browser gets a chance to render them. Currently I include my custom Javascript in the Head of the template to work around this issue, but this means I cannot use the Prototype library since it was not yet included. It would really help if at least the Prototype/script.aculo.us libraries can be configured to be included in the head-section. regards, Onno On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 9:25 PM, Howard Lewis Ship <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The correct solution is to NOT use <script> blocks in your code, but > make use of the RenderSupport environmental. > > These things will NOT be made configurable, because that just opens us > up to a series of issues along the lines of "why doesn't this > component work as part of an Ajax partial render?". > > On Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 11:48 AM, samlai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I have similar problem and the workaround works but it's kind of ugly. > > > > In my case, my embedded <script> depends on protoype.js and > > scriptaculous.js, so I do the workaround and include the those JavaScript > > files in the html head section via tapestry template. > > > > The problem is that same page contains components that have implicit > > dependencies on protoype.js and scriptaculous.js as well.
