Firefox and IE6 issue with document.ready()

Question

I have created an html page with a Tabber tab functionality.

• Each tab has its own table that loads when the tab is clicked and only loads once on the initial tab click to stop the tables loading more than once.
• Each tab table exists in its own .jsp html file and is loaded through javascript using the $("#tab1").load('tabqtable.jsp'); call.

I currently have a document.ready() within the individual tab html files to run when each tab loads. The scripts run and work perfectly in Chrome, but the document.ready() functions don't run in Firefox and IE6.

I can put an alert(); outside of the document.ready() function and it works, so I know the script tag is being run. I also tried moving all the javascript to the return function call in the .load() function so the javascript will run when the .load() runs successfully from the m/ain html page, but still ended up with the same result.

I am at a loss and would really appreciate some help on this issue if I could get it. The tables load perfectly, I just don't get any of the functionality I need in order to interact with the table. It's not the scripts I am running either, because they all work with the main html page. Thanks for any help in advance.

Answer 1

Have you tried jQuery's .ready()?

Answer 2

well it looks like you are already using a framework like jquery...use $(document).ready (assuming that's jquery you are using...) the point of frameworks like jquery is that it (in principle) should be crossbrowser compatible.
