I have a page that loads an applet. It's a cube that is used as a navigation menu. This issue actually happens in both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape. All versions that I know of. And also happens with the Microsoft JVM and Sun's JVM.
Here's the issue:
When the page loads and messages in the status bar about what the applet is doing (like applet initializing that sort of thing) finish, the result when all is said and done is a (blank) status bar. I do have a work around for it where the status bar gets written to 5 secs after the page loads. Less then 5 seconds it doesn't work. So what that means is the onload event doesn't work. In other words if it did then the status bar should get its message because onload means all components in the page are in and ready to go. But no the applet finishes and the status bar is left in a blank state.
So you might say, "Well the applet loading has over written the status bar." That violates the onload event doesn't it? If the onload event was working correctly the applet would be finished loading and that's that.
I tried moving the JavaScript which sets the defaultStatus to the end of the page but same behavior. I see the defaultStatus message appear, the Applet sends its meesages to the status bar, and the status bar is letf blank. And it takes 5 seconds after the messages in the status bar written to by the applet can be populated with the defaultStatus message.

No, the onload is about elements being loaded, it doesn't include
applet initialisation.

Writing to the statusbar is simply unreliable in IE (hook the
onstatusbarchan ge event in MSHTML, and you'll see just how often it's
called and all the weird times.

Oh cool I'll try that. Yes it is definitely buggy. Thanks for explaining the onload event. I thought the status bar was one of the elements.

Hi,
I am wanting to capture an onmousedown event without firing the body tags
onload event.
Also, if anyone could explain why this happens that would be excellent. I
can't see how an onmousedown event could bubble up to an onload event.
NOTE: If you put an alert() statement in the onmousedown event handler the
body onload event doesn't get fired.

Hi all,
I¹ve been away from Javascript for awhile and am rusty, but this is too
simple not to work! I¹m on a Mac, and usually use the Safari browser. I

reason, but I¹m not seeing it. Help?

Hello.
I've got a page with sound through a swf file, working with an animation
with preloaded JPEG files (animated through use of setTimeout).
I'm preloading the JPEG files through Javascript in the <head> tag, the
Flash animation/sound file being in the <object> & <embed> tags.
I'd like to fire the sound and JPEG animation once everything is loaded :
the page content, the JPEG files (stored in an array), and the swf file.

Hello everyone,
I would like to open a child window from the parent, and add an onload
event listener to the child window which will tell the parent when the
document has loaded. As far as I know, this shouldn't be an issue, but
I just can't get it to work. The script only needs to work with
Firefox/Mozilla, so XP code isn't an issue.
I have tried to open a window like so.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
