5 Responses to "If I put alert() message then my javascript works fine otherwise script is not working"

Hello. Yes, i have exactly the same problem. I have a script that runs perfectly when i have alert() in the script. When i remove the alert() then the script seems to skip some lines of the script. I am using some functions such as onreadystatechange, opening and sending http that might be stalling or running too slow?
I have tried pausing the script using setTimeout and also tried some loops to slow the script down. Neither work.
Any advice highly appreciated!

Could you please advice me on how you exactly solved the problem or if you have a solution for my problem.
Thanks for advance!

All you need to do is debug your javascript script to find whether the script is running before the page/form has completely loaded or you are calling the script before loading.
Because what happening with me is, my page did not get loaded and I was trying to set some values into the page elements which I do not found. Therefore, I have called my javascript function only after the page gets fully loaded with all the elements on the page.

Hello!
I have strugled with my javascript calls and have faced this problem as well, not with popups but with the main window. I’m trying to put a selected value to my dropdownlist but it fails in IE. If I put alert() before my code , it’s executed but not without it ( this only in IE 6 and 7. in FF it’s working like it should be. ). I’ve checked if the page is loaded completely before calling my javascript. The onLoad didn’t work so I placed php-variables in top and bottom of the code and set it to false in the beginning and true in the end. It gave true but still didn’t have any effect.
Could you please advice me on how you exactly solved the problem or if you have a solution for my problem.
Thank’s for advance!
