JS Loader Prototype - FF Update

This page demonstrates a simple function that loads JavaScript in a way that avoids the blocking nature of HTML <script> elements. This version of the loader improves on the previous in terms of Firefox behavior, where if not addressed can potentially block the page.

JavaScript 1 and 2 were called in the head, take note that there was no blocking, and you saw this content just fine!

Calling JavaScript #3 and #4 using the loader, inline...

Interesting, notice Firefox waited until scripts #1 and #2 finished before #3 and #4 started loading.

We'll now write out the code for #5 and #6, which will be delayed until #3 and #4 finish.

This text was blocked until the #3 and $4 script block finished loading, and #5 and #6 finally start!

Calling JavaScript #7 and #8 the old fashioned way...but they won't start until #5 and #6 finish.

This is some text that was blocked...

Load completed in seconds.
