[Users] onload ="init();" or ext.onReady(function()...)

[Tim Heuer]

Hi Robert,

I would use
Ext.onReady(function(){…});

because it is a cross-browser event handling function and should work in all browsers as expected. Also, this way your programming logic code is separated from the HTML of the page and makes for a cleaner solution. If you are using a cross-browser library anyway using the library’s method would be my general suggestion.

Cheers,
Tim

Hi,

When developing a relatively large ext/geoext app, which would be the best way of starting the app from the initial html page? I am rather confused about which does what and which is better for performance.

As far as I can understand the following happens..

onload="init();" triggers the javascript code when the html page is fully loaded into the browser


Ext.onReady(function()...loads when the ext.js library has been loaded into the browser (..cache?)
so which is more effective?

yours,

Robert
