I have an HTML page with included JS file like:
<script language="javas cript" type="text/javascript" src="file.js"></
script>
The file.js has a set of functions and global initializer for some
html object. Hoever, I want to hide my html object with display:block
CSS property. As a result, object in JS file fails to be initialized
for a hidden object. I decided to call JS file when needed (i.e. when
HTML object becomes visible on page) like this:
function getJSOnDemand() {
var head = document.getEle mentsByTagName( "head")[0];
var script = document.create Element('script ');
script.id = 'tinyMCEScriptI nitializer';
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = "file.js";
head.appendChil d(script);
}
Howeverm it did not work and still fails to initialize HTML object, as
if it does not see it. Could you recommend how to call JS file when it
is needed or how to deal with initialization of the html object which
is hidden on the page?
Thank you.

I am sorry, I will supply more details:
- JS file initializes html object "textarea", I call it "TXT", without
problems
- I want to remove TXT and add it dynamically later
- So, JS cannot initialize anything in case above
- When TXT is added, I want to call JS at that moment only, using so-
called js on demand
- The problem is it does not initialize the TXT even though it is
successfully called

I am sorry, I will supply more details:
- JS file initializes html object "textarea", I call it "TXT", without
problems
what do you mean by "initialize s" the html object?
- I want to remove TXT and add it dynamically later
why do you add it, then remove it, then add it later? why not display
it statically from the start, but with css-style "hidden" or
"display:no ne", and then later just show it?
- So, JS cannot initialize anything in case above
- When TXT is added, I want to call JS at that moment only, using so-
called js on demand
what does it mean "when ... added, I want to call AT THAT MOMENT, ON
DEMAND"? It's rather automatically, when it's added, or on demand...
or do I not understand it well?
- The problem is it does not initialize the TXT even though it is
successfully called
what is called? and how do you fail "initializi ng" the TXT, if you
said you didn't have problems with this, in the first sentence?
Pretty confusing.
I think it is still Jeff North's advice you should listen to.

History: I built a test case to initialize TinyMCE (html editor) which
was successfully implemented. In this test case, I include a JS file
which looks for a textarea on my page and some global method of
tinyMCE initializes some functionality, so I see the editor appended
to my textarea field.
My goal: My web app uses xmlhttp request to create a content for some
web page. The content is hidden by default (display:none). But the
user can select what content to display (display:block) .
The textarea which I apply tinyMCE to is within that hidden content.
Basically, I am lokking for the way to run a TinyMCE's JS file when
textarea's content is shown on the page.
That's all
I tried:
1) run the JS file on page load, but the required texarea does not
exist yet
2) call JS on demand when textarea is visible, but it does not work
and the TinyMCE's code fails to initialize with:
tinyMCE.init({
theme : "advanced",
mode : "exact",
elements : "Descriptio ns",
save_callback : "customSave ",
content_css : "example_advanc ed.css",
extended_valid_ elements : "a[href|target|nam e]",
plugins : "table",
theme_advanced_ buttons3_add_be fore : "tablecontrols, separator",
//invalid_element s : "a",
theme_advanced_ styles : "Header 1=header1;Heade r 2=header2;Heade r
3=header3;Table Row=tableRow1", // Theme specific setting CSS classes
//execcommand_cal lback : "myCustomExecCo mmandHandler",
debug : false

});
Try reducing this to the most bare minimum possible, maybe:
tinyMCE.init({m ode: 'textareas'});
Every example I have ever seen issues the init() method without any
mention of DOM-readiness.
The above example does say "when the page loads," so I am guessing it is
DOM-loaded-friendly. I have no clue what TinyMCE does or doesn't do, so
you might try wrapping it in a function, and call that function if/when
your textarea appears.
Last but not least, whittle this down into a tiny example, post it
online and you might get more help.

Call the tinyMCE.init from within the function that displays the block
and after any further processing that needs to be done i.e.
document.getEle mentById("tinyM CE").style.disp lay="block";
do stuff
do stuff
tinyMCE = new etc etc

Hello everyone.
I am not fluent in JavaScript, so I might overlook the obvious.
But in all other programming languages that I know and that
have associative arrays, or hashes, the elements in the
hash are alphabetically sorted if the key happens to
be alpha numeric. Which I believe makes sense because
it allows for fast lookup of a key.
