checkScriptsLoaded

void checkScriptsLoaded()

Called periodically and moves onto the next loadState when this round of scripts have loaded. For IE clients, object.readyState is used to check if scripts are loaded. Mozilla works fine without this function - I think it is single threaded.

loadScript

Object loadScript(url)

Dynamically load a script file if it has not already been loaded.

Parameters:
url - The url of the script.

loadScriptsFromXpath

void loadScriptsFromXpath(nodes,dir)

Internal function to load scripts for components that don't have specified in the config file.

Parameters:
dir - The directory the script is located in.
xPath - Xpath match of components from the Config file.

setLoadState

void setLoadState(newState)

Move onto loading the next set of scripts.

Parameters:
newState - The new loading state.
