Looking for an event trigger

[Cleverbum]

I'm hoping to execute some code "when the page has completely finished
loading" by which I mean the page and all the images on it, does anyone
know of a way to do this?

You can do it using AJAX. Put some java script code into page which
will make a request to your server when page is loaded to inform PHP
script that whole page's been loaded.

<script type="text/javascript">

function sthg() {
document.body.s tyle.background ='orange';
}

onload = function() { sthg(); alert('all loaded'); };
</script>
does alert fires before all images loaded ?

Are you looking to execute some code on the server or the client? What
are you actually trying to do?

Remember - PHP is server side only. It has no direct contact with the
client. All it knows is when it's passed its data off to the web server
for sending to the client. It doesn't know what happens after that -
not even if the browser is closed or the connection dropped before the
page completed loading.

You can do it in Javascript on the client, and as Mateusz indicated you
can use AJAX to call a function back on the server.

No, onload for the document fires when the HTML file is loaded. Img
tags have their own onload handlers. AFAIK not events are emitted on
things like background images.

I was hoping to redirect the client to the next page once the first had
been loaded, so I guess some clientside javascript would be sufficient?

You could, but then why even load the first page? It will just flash up
there then go to the next page.

If I were the client I would be very upset about this.

But if you insist, you can do it with an html redirect. Check the
alt.html newsgroup for help on how to do it.

Well the first page does the processing that the second page needs
before it can be displayed, the processing is done by pages loaded
within image tags, there are over 4,000 of them and the processing time
will obviously vary, hence why I wanted the trigger to activate once
the page and all the images had loaded.

OK, I understand the pages doing the processing. But why would you send
any data to the client if it's not meant to be seen, anyway?

And in a case like that, why would you care if the page is loaded or not?

The page needs to finish loading for all of the processing to complete.
Each image on the first page corresponds to a certain portion of the
work that needed doing before the second page is shown. If the second
page is shown before the first one is finished the information on it
will be wrong.
I've done the data processing this way as my host has a maximum
execution time of 30 seconds and only supports web languages - not
things like java/c.
The images also show information about what happened in the process,
which is useful for debugging, but will most likely be ignored by the
client.
