Hi,
I want to call a javascript function after my page has loaded.
Currently I am using:
Is there a neater / tidier way to do this using any rails specific
commands?
I found this:
document.observe(‘dom:loaded’, function() {
$(‘state_field’).hide();
$(‘person_country_id’).observe(‘change’, countrySelected);
});
which is part of a tutorial for creating dynamic drop down menus, but
when I, for example, try:
document.observe(‘dom:loaded’, function() {
alert(‘hello’);
});
this has no effect, rather it is output as html, as though I had witten
document.observe('dom:loaded', function() {alert('hello');});
Grateful for any help.

Excellent! Now take the JS out of the HTML and put it in an external
file.

You might want to have a look at Low Pro
http://www.danwebb.net/2006/9/3/low-pro-unobtrusive-scripting-for-prototype
It was built for prototype, but there’s a version for use with jquery as
well

Although I haven’t used that.
