Execute javascript code when page is loaded

[Florian Marquardt]

Hi,

I'm writing a plugin that adds some Information to the issue details view.

Therefore I'm using javascript code to add interactions.

my vm-template looks roughly like this (first HTML-Elements then the javascript parts)

<div id="myContent">my content</div>

<script>
document.getElementById("myContent").innerHTML = "my new content";
</script>

the point is that JIRA seems to reassemble the order of the elements. When I test my plugin the getElementById() always fails, because the corresponding element is not yet available in the DOM.

btw. using jQuery(document).ready(function() {...}); doesn't make any difference. Using some blocking interaction in my javascript (e.g. alert()) shows that when it's executed the JIRA-page is not yet complete. It is incomplete until the blocking event of my code returns (see attached screenshot)

So my question is: how can I ensure, that certain parts of the DOM are available when my script is executed.

Ideal thing to do is to use a JS file and load it as a resource using the web resource module. And of course, add your code in the ready function because you want to execute it only after the page is loaded.

Hi Florian,

Questions about developing Plugins for Atlassian Products should better be asked in the Atlassian Developer Community Platform  

Thank you
