Question

I have the following code

        Ext.onReady(function () {
            setTimeout(everything(), 30000);
        });

I am trying to wait for EXT.NET to completely finish compiling the page before applying any javascript to the elemtents. This is not a problem in most browsers as $(document).load provides enough of delay. Of course the horrid internet explorer triggers .load prematurely which means I have to put in a hard coded delay in. The above code however, does NOTHING to delay the execution of everything().

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Remove the () from everything

setTimeout(everything, 30000);

By including (), you are telling the browser to immediately execute everything and send it’s return value as the callback function to the setTimeout.
