"onload" event handler inside a div

Rails
1

Hi. I need help on what is essentially putting an “onload” event handler
into a div. I am using render :partial and when the partial is loaded, I
would like the divs to show using an effect from a library such as
scriptaculous or moofx. However, there is no “onload” for a div. I was
wondering what alternative methods I should use to achieve this.

Thanks!

I’m wondering about this meself. Does anyone have ideas on this? I
have the effect working if I do “onClick”, but how can I get the effect
to work with “onLoad” for a div?

If you put the j-script you want to execute in a block
that appears immediately after the div, and have the script execute
immediately, then it will only run immediately after the div is in
place.

E.g.:

content content content
4

here’s an example: this is in an RJS file called create.rjs:

page.visual_effect :blind_up, “new_comment_form_for_post_#{@post.id}”

this is called from the create action of a controller…in the create
action would be something like this:

respond_to do |format|
format.js
end

which would call the RJS…the RJS does the scriptaculous effect that
makes the div roll up like a blind…the div id is in the speech marks
after the :blind_up command…
