Javascript problem causing me issues!!

[Bryant May]

Hi there, I am experiencing a problem which no doubt someone else has come across before but I cant work out for the life of me what the deal is with it. I have included code below for an onload function and its call that enables me to be able to call multiple functions on-load. There are two at the moment, one that calls the current date and time and puts it in a div and another that "refreshes" an AJAX call and places content in yet another div. The problem that I am having is that although both functions are being called (the second one is made in another script using a version of the same function call), only the second one is actually producing visible content (in this case a text field). However if I alert a message between the function calls both bits of content are produced as expected. The code is as follows: //The function call

print "window.onload = callOnLoads(\"getCurDateTime\", \"\", \"\", \"\")";

//The function definition

function callOnLoads(pageFunction1, pageFunction2, var1, var2)
{
return function()
{
if (pageFunction1 == "getCurDateTime")
getCurDateTime();

    //var 1 in this case is the dirToUse variable and var 2 is the userID	        
    if (pageFunction2 == "addDocType")
    	addDocType("addTypeDiv", "", "", var1, var2);      	
}

}

The function call is made from a PHP script and the JS definition is held in a JS file. Anybody have any ideas about this? Im guessing its something to do with the speed of execution given that if I halt it with an alert it then works! As always, any help is very gratefully received. Bryant

I don't really get your code - but if it work with a pause (alert) the you could try using php's "sleep()" or the JavaScript equivalent
