Load additional javascript after the OnDocumentReady

[Rommel Manalo]

For some odd reason i want to load additional javascripts after the OnDocumentReady(...). As far as I know the UI controls are rendered inside this section. What if I have scenario that I to need to access the variables/objects inside the OnDocumentReady(...). From my observations putting the additional scripts in the Script().Add(...) block will be read first (even there is the document.ready(..) ) than the OnDocumentReady(...).

I have a proposal for something like this

<% Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar().Scripts(

            s => s.Add("GridPlugIn.js")

           ).OnDocumentReady(%>

           

           var sc = jQuery("#birthdate").value();

           

           <%).AfterOnDocumentReady()..Scripts(

            s => s.Add("file-that-manipulates-the-value-inside-telerik-ondocument-ready.js")

           )

Hi Rommel Manalo,

I think you can use the $.getScript method provided by jQuery to load the JavaScript file

.OnDocumentReady(() => {%>
      $.getScript("/Scripts/test.js", function () {
             // code executed when the script is loaded
       });
<%})

I hope this helps,

Ok, thanks for the great help. I think it may work also

If i used the $getscript, i will not benefit from the JavaScript compression that you had, and let say after OnDocumentReady i will still load 4 or more JavaScript files, i think Yslow will complain to me that i should compress/combined those JavaScripts.

Hello Rommel Manalo,

Indeed with getScript you have to request the files one by one (unless you combine them manually). You can enable gzip compression for static resources such as JavaScript files. Nevertheless using getScript is the only workaround for the time being.

I have logged your suggestion as a feature request but I cannot promise if it will be implemented for the official release.
One thing is for sure - if it becomes a popular request we will raise its priority.
