Function preloader seems to prevent other scripts on the page from running



User: Jeff R. 10 years ago
Hi
Our website link to a 3rd party to allow people to book appointments.
I have been able to insert the requisite HTML using HTML Snippet, (with the addition of Jumbo T's useful code to increase the Z-index to bring the pop up to the front)

An example that works well is here:

http://www.mbmc.com.au/test/appointments.html

When setting up a similar link on another page,
http://www.mbmc.com.au/test/dr-jeff-robinson.html

I found the link would not work until I removed this code (manually) from the end of the page:

<script>
function preloader() {
if (document.images) {
var i0=new Image();
i0.src ='images/dr-jeff-robinson/shape_3.png';
}
}
function addLoadEvent(func) {
window.onload = func;
}
addLoadEvent(preloader);
</script>

Subsequently, further editing of the page (to remove the iFrame modal link) saw Everweb seemingly remove the code itself, and it now works normally:

http://www.mbmc.com.au/dr-jeff-robinson.html

I should be happy that the "problem" is fixed but I have a few more of these links to adjust and I was hoping to understand how or why the "event preloader" code appears and seems stop the other script from working.

Thanks

Jeff Robinson
