scripts block <script src=&quot;A.js&quot;>  blocks parallel downloads and rendering http://stevesouders.com/cuzillion/?ex=10008
MSN.com: parallel scripts Scripts and other resources downloaded in parallel! How? Secret sauce?! var p= g.getElementsByTagName(&quot;HEAD&quot;)[0]; var c=g.createElement(&quot;script&quot;); c.type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;; c.onreadystatechange=n; c.onerror=c.onload=k; c.src=e; p.appendChild(c) MSN
asynchronous script loading XHR Eval XHR Injection Script in Iframe Script DOM Element Script Defer document.write Script Tag
XHR Eval script must have same domain as main page must refactor script var xhrObj = getXHRObject(); xhrObj.onreadystatechange =  function() {  if ( xhrObj.readyState != 4 ) return; eval(xhrObj.responseText); }; xhrObj.open('GET', 'A.js', true); xhrObj.send(''); http://stevesouders.com/cuzillion/?ex=10009
XHR Injection var xhrObj = getXHRObject(); xhrObj.onreadystatechange =  function() {  if ( xhrObj.readyState != 4 ) return; var se=document.createElement('script'); document.getElementsByTagName('head') [0].appendChild(se); se.text = xhrObj.responseText; }; xhrObj.open('GET', 'A.js', true); xhrObj.send(''); script must have same domain as main page http://stevesouders.com/cuzillion/?ex=10015
Script in Iframe <iframe  src='A.html'  width=0 height=0  frameborder=0 id=frame1></iframe>  iframe must have same domain as main page must refactor script: // access iframe from main page window.frames[0].createNewDiv(); // access main page from iframe parent.document.createElement('div'); http://stevesouders.com/cuzillion/?ex=10012
Script DOM Element var se = document.createElement('script'); se.src = 'http://anydomain.com/A.js'; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] .appendChild(se);  script and main page domains can differ no need to refactor JavaScript http://stevesouders.com/cuzillion/?ex=10010
Script Defer <script  defer  src='A.js'></script> only supported in IE (just landed in FF 3.1) script and main page domains can differ no need to refactor JavaScript http://stevesouders.com/cuzillion/?ex=10013
document.write  Script Tag document.write (&quot;<scr&quot; +  &quot;ipt type='text/javascript' src='A.js'>&quot; + &quot;</scr&quot; + &quot;ipt>&quot;); parallelization only works in IE parallel downloads for scripts, nothing else all  document.write s must be in same script block http://stevesouders.com/cuzillion/?ex=10014
browser busy indicators
browser busy indicators good  to show busy indicators when the user needs feedback bad  when downloading in the background
ensure/avoid ordered execution Ensure scripts execute in order: necessary when scripts have dependencies IE:  http://stevesouders.com/cuzillion/?ex=10017 FF:  http://stevesouders.com/cuzillion/?ex=10018 Avoid scripts executing in order: faster – first script back is executed immediately http://stevesouders.com/cuzillion/?ex=10019
load scripts without blocking * Only other document.write scripts are downloaded in parallel (in the same script block).
and the winner is... XHR Eval XHR Injection Script in iframe Script DOM Element Script Defer Script DOM Element Script Defer Script DOM Element Script DOM Element (FF) Script Defer (IE) XHR Eval XHR Injection Script in iframe Script DOM Element (IE) XHR Injection XHR Eval Script DOM Element (IE) Managed XHR Injection Managed XHR Eval Script DOM Element Managed XHR Injection Managed XHR Eval Script DOM Element (FF) Script Defer (IE) Managed XHR Eval Managed XHR Injection Script DOM Element (FF) Script Defer (IE) Managed XHR Eval Managed XHR Injection different domains same domains no order preserve order no order no busy show busy show busy no busy preserve order
load scripts without blocking don't let scripts block other downloads you can still control execution order, busy indicators, and onload event What about inline scripts?
 
synchronous JS example: menu.js <script src=&quot;menu.js&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;></script> <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> var aExamples =  [ ['couple-normal.php', 'Normal Script Src'], ['couple-xhr-eval.php', 'XHR Eval'], ... ['managed-xhr.php', 'Managed XHR'] ]; function init() { EFWS.Menu.createMenu('examplesbtn', aExamples); } init(); </script>
asynchronous JS example: menu.js <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> var domscript = document.createElement('script'); domscript.src = &quot;menu.js&quot;;  document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(domscript); var aExamples =  [ ['couple-normal.php', 'Normal Script Src'], ['couple-xhr-eval.php', 'XHR Eval'], ... ['managed-xhr.php', 'Managed XHR'] ]; function init() { EFWS.Menu.createMenu('examplesbtn', aExamples); } init(); </script> script DOM element approach

load scripts without blocking * Only other document.write scripts are downloaded in parallel (in the same script block). !IE
asynchronous scripts wrap-up what about inlined code  that depends on the script?
what about inlined code  that depends on the script?
baseline coupling results (not good) *  Scripts download in parallel regardless of the Defer attribute. need a way to load scripts asynchronously AND preserve order
coupling techniques hardcoded callback window onload timer degrading script tags script onload
technique 1: hardcoded callback <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> var aExamples = [['couple-normal.php', 'Normal Script Src'], ...]; function init() { EFWS.Menu.createMenu('examplesbtn', aExamples); } var domscript = document.createElement('script'); domscript.src = &quot;menu.js&quot;; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(domscript); </script> init() is called from within menu.js not very flexible doesn't work for 3 rd  party scripts
technique 2: window onload <iframe src=&quot;menu.php&quot; width=0 height=0 frameborder=0> </iframe> <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> var aExamples = [['couple-normal.php', 'Normal Script Src'], ...]; function init() { EFWS.Menu.createMenu('examplesbtn', aExamples); } if ( window.addEventListener ) { window.addEventListener(&quot;load&quot;, init, false); } else if ( window.attachEvent ) { window.attachEvent(&quot;onload&quot;, init); } </script> init() is called at window onload must use async technique that blocks onload: Script in Iframe does this across most browsers init() called later than necessary
technique 3: timer <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> var domscript = document.createElement('script'); domscript.src = &quot;menu.js&quot;; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(domscript); var aExamples = [['couple-normal.php', 'Normal Script Src'], ...]; function init() { EFWS.Menu.createMenu('examplesbtn', aExamples); } function initTimer(interval) { if ( &quot;undefined&quot; === typeof(EFWS) ) { setTimeout(initTimer, interval); } else { init(); } } initTimer(300); </script> load if  interval  too low, delay if too high slight increased maintenance –  EFWS
John Resig's degrading script tags <script src=&quot;menu-degrading.js&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> var aExamples = [['couple-normal.php', 'Normal Script Src'], ...]; function init() { EFWS.Menu.createMenu('examplesbtn', aExamples); } init(); </script> at the end of menu-degrading.js: var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName(&quot;script&quot;); var cntr = scripts.length; while ( cntr ) { var curScript = scripts[cntr-1]; if (curScript.src.indexOf(&quot;menu-degrading.js&quot;) != -1) { eval( curScript.innerHTML ); break; } cntr--; } http://ejohn.org/blog/degrading-script-tags/ cleaner clearer safer – inlined code not called if script fails no browser supports it
technique 4: degrading script tags <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> var aExamples = [['couple-normal.php', 'Normal Script Src'],...]; function init() { EFWS.Menu.createMenu('examplesbtn', aExamples); } var domscript = document.createElement('script'); domscript.src = &quot;menu-degrading.js&quot;; if ( -1 != navigator.userAgent.indexOf(&quot;Opera&quot;) ) { domscript.innerHTML = &quot;init();&quot;; } else { domscript.text = &quot;init();&quot;; } document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(domscript); </script> elegant, flexible (cool!) not well known doesn't work for 3 rd  party scripts (unless...)
technique 5: script onload <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> var aExamples = [['couple-normal.php', 'Normal Script Src'], ...]; function init() { EFWS.Menu.createMenu('examplesbtn', aExamples); } var domscript = document.createElement('script'); domscript.src = &quot;menu.js&quot;; domscript.onloadDone = false; domscript.onload = function() {  if ( ! domscript.onloadDone ) { init(); } domscript.onloadDone = true;  }; domscript.onreadystatechange = function() {  if ( &quot;loaded&quot; === domscript.readyState ) {  if ( ! domscript.onloadDone ) { init(); } domscript.onloadDone = true;  } } document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(domscript); </script> pretty nice, medium complexity
what about multiple scripts  that depend on each other,  and   inlined code  that depends on the scripts? two solutions: Managed XHR DOM Element and Doc Write
multiple script example: menutier.js <script src=&quot;menu.js&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;></script> <script src=&quot;menutier.js&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;></script> <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> var aRaceConditions = [['couple-normal.php', 'Normal...]; var aWorkarounds = [['hardcoded-callback.php', 'Hardcod...]; var aMultipleScripts = [['managed-xhr.php', 'Managed XH...]; var aLoadScripts = [['loadscript.php', 'loadScript'], ...]; var aSubmenus =  [[&quot;Race Conditions&quot;, aRaceConditions],  [&quot;Workarounds&quot;, aWorkarounds], [&quot;Multiple Scripts&quot;, aMultipleScripts], [&quot;General Solution&quot;, aLoadScripts]]; function init() { EFWS.Menu.createTieredMenu('examplesbtn', aSubmenus); } </script>
technique 1: managed XHR <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> var aRaceConditions = [['couple-normal.php', 'Normal...]; var aWorkarounds = [['hardcoded-callback.php', 'Hardcod...]; var aMultipleScripts = [['managed-xhr.php', 'Managed XH...]; var aLoadScripts = [['loadscript.php', 'loadScript'], ...]; var aSubmenus = [[&quot;Race Conditions&quot;, aRaceConditions], ...]; function init() { EFWS.Menu.createTieredMenu('examplesbtn', aSubmenus); } EFWS.Script.loadScriptXhrInjection(&quot;menu.js&quot;, null, true); EFWS.Script.loadScriptXhrInjection(&quot;menutier.js&quot;, init,   true); </script> XHR Injection asynchronous technique does not preserve order – we have to add that  before after
EFWS.loadScriptXhrInjection // Load an external script.  // Optionally call a callback and preserve order. loadScriptXhrInjection: function(url, onload, bOrder) { var iQ = EFWS.Script.queuedScripts.length; if ( bOrder ) { var qScript = { response: null, onload: onload, done: false }; EFWS.Script.queuedScripts[iQ] = qScript; } var xhrObj = EFWS.Script.getXHRObject(); xhrObj.onreadystatechange = function() { if ( xhrObj.readyState == 4 ) { if ( bOrder ) { EFWS.Script.queuedScripts[iQ].response = xhrObj.responseText; EFWS.Script.injectScripts(); } else { eval(xhrObj.responseText); if ( onload ) { onload(); } } } }; xhrObj.open('GET', url, true); xhrObj.send(''); } process queue (next slide) or... eval now, call callback save response to queue add to queue (if bOrder)
EFWS.injectScripts // Process queued scripts to see if any are ready to inject. injectScripts: function() { var len = EFWS.Script.queuedScripts.length; for ( var i = 0; i < len; i++ ) { var qScript = EFWS.Script.queuedScripts[i]; if ( ! qScript.done ) { if ( ! qScript.response ) { // STOP! need to wait for this response break; } else { eval(qScript.response); if ( qScript.onload ) { qScript.onload(); } qScript.done = true; } } } } preserves external script order non-blocking works in all browsers couples with inlined code works with scripts across domains ready for this script, eval and call callback bail – need to wait to preserve order if not yet injected
technique 2: DOM Element and Doc Write Firefox & Opera – use Script DOM Element IE – use  document.write  Script Tag Safari, Chrome – no benefit; rely on Safari 4 and Chrome 2
EFWS.loadScripts loadScripts: function(aUrls, onload) { // first pass: see if any of the scripts are on a different domain var nUrls = aUrls.length; var bDifferent = false; for ( var i = 0; i < nUrls; i++ ) { if ( EFWS.Script.differentDomain(aUrls[i]) ) { bDifferent = true; break; } } // pick the best loading function var loadFunc = EFWS.Script.loadScriptXhrInjection; if ( bDifferent ) { if ( -1 != navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Firefox') || -1 != navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Opera') ) { loadFunc = EFWS.Script.loadScriptDomElement; } else { loadFunc = EFWS.Script.loadScriptDocWrite; } } // second pass: load the scripts for ( var i = 0; i < nUrls; i++ ) { loadFunc(aUrls[i], ( i+1 == nUrls ? onload : null ), true); } }
multiple scripts with dependencies <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> var aRaceConditions = [['couple-normal.php', 'Normal...]; var aWorkarounds = [['hardcoded-callback.php', 'Hardcod...]; var aMultipleScripts = [['managed-xhr.php', 'Managed XH...]; var aLoadScripts = [['loadscript.php', 'loadScript'], ...]; var aSubmenus = [[&quot;Race Conditions&quot;, aRaceConditions], ...]; function init() { EFWS.Menu.createTieredMenu('examplesbtn', aSubmenus); } EFWS.Script.loadScripts([&quot;menu.js&quot;, &quot;menutier.js&quot;], init); </script> scripts on same domain: order preserved, no blocking scripts on different domain: order preserved: all loads scripts in parallel: all except Saf3, Chr1 load script and image in parallel: FF, Saf4, Chr2
asynchronous scripts wrap-up
case study: Google Analytics recommended pattern: 1 <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> var gaJsHost = ((&quot;https:&quot; == document.location.protocol) ? &quot;https://ssl.&quot; : &quot;http://www.&quot;); document.write(unescape(&quot;%3Cscript src='&quot; + gaJsHost + &quot;google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E&quot;)); </script> <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(&quot;UA-xxxxxx-x&quot;); pageTracker._trackPageview(); </script> document.write  Script Tag approach blocks other resources 1 http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55488
case study: dojox.analytics.Urchin 1 _loadGA: function(){ var gaHost = (&quot;https:&quot; == document.location.protocol) ?  &quot;https://ssl.&quot; : &quot;http://www.&quot;; dojo.create('script', { src: gaHost + &quot;google-analytics.com/ga.js&quot; }, dojo.doc.getElementsByTagName(&quot;head&quot;)[0]); setTimeout(dojo.hitch(this, &quot;_checkGA&quot;), this.loadInterval); }, _checkGA: function(){ setTimeout(dojo.hitch(this, !window[&quot;_gat&quot;] ? &quot;_checkGA&quot; : &quot;_gotGA&quot;), this.loadInterval); }, _gotGA: function(){ this.tracker = _gat._getTracker(this.acct); ... } Script DOM Element approach &quot;timer&quot; coupling technique  (script onload better) 1 http://docs.dojocampus.org/dojox/analytics/Urchin
asynchronous loading & coupling async technique: Script DOM Element easy, cross-browser doesn't ensure script order coupling technique: script onload fairly easy, cross-browser ensures execution order for external script and inlined code
bad: stylesheet followed by inline script browsers download stylesheets in parallel with other resources that follow... ...unless the stylesheet is followed by an inline script http://stevesouders.com/cuzillion/?ex=10021 best to move inline scripts above stylesheets or below other resources use Link, not @import
don't scatter inline scripts eBay MSN MySpace Wikipedia
iframes:    most expensive DOM element load 100  empty  elements of each type tested in all major browsers 1 1 IE 6, 7, 8; FF 2, 3.0, 3.1b2; Safari 3.2, 4; Opera 9.63, 10; Chrome 1.0, 2.0
iframes block onload parent's onload doesn't fire until iframe and all its components are downloaded workaround for Safari and Chrome: set iframe src in JavaScript <iframe id=iframe1 src=&quot;&quot;></iframe> <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> document.getElementById('iframe1').src=&quot; url &quot;; </script>
scripts block iframe no surprise – scripts in the parent block the iframe from loading IE Firefox Safari Chrome Opera script script script
stylesheets block iframe (IE, FF) surprise – stylesheets in the parent block the iframe or its resources in IE & Firefox IE Firefox Safari Chrome Opera stylesheet stylesheet stylesheet
stylesheets after iframe still block (FF) surprise – even moving the stylesheet  after  the iframe still causes the iframe's resources to be blocked in Firefox IE Firefox Safari Chrome Opera stylesheet stylesheet stylesheet
iframes: no free connections iframe shares connection pool with parent (here – 2 connections per server in IE 7) iframe parent
flush the document early gotchas: PHP output_buffering –  ob_flush() Transfer-Encoding: chunked gzip – Apache's DeflateBufferSize before 2.2.8 proxies and anti-virus software browsers – Safari (1K), Chrome (2K) other languages:  $|  or  FileHandle autoflush  (Perl),  flush  (Python),  ios.flush  (Ruby) call PHP's  flush() html image image script html image image script
flushing and domain blocking you might need to move flushed resources to a domain different from the HTML doc case study: Google search blocked by HTML document different domains html image image script html image image script google image image script image 204

John Resig's degrading script tags <script src=&quot;menu-degrading.js&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> var aExamples = [['couple-normal.php', 'Normal Script Src'], ...]; function init() { EFWS.Menu.createMenu('examplesbtn', aExamples); } init(); </script> at the end of menu-degrading.js: var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName(&quot;script&quot;); var cntr = scripts.length; while ( cntr ) { var curScript = scripts[cntr-1]; if (curScript.src.indexOf(&quot;menu-degrading.js&quot;) != -1) { eval( curScript.innerHTML ); break; } cntr--; } http://ejohn.org/blog/degrading-script-tags/ cleaner clearer safer – inlined code not called if script fails no browser supports it
  • 41. technique 4: degrading script tags <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> var aExamples = [['couple-normal.php', 'Normal Script Src'],...]; function init() { EFWS.Menu.createMenu('examplesbtn', aExamples); } var domscript = document.createElement('script'); domscript.src = &quot;menu-degrading.js&quot;; if ( -1 != navigator.userAgent.indexOf(&quot;Opera&quot;) ) { domscript.innerHTML = &quot;init();&quot;; } else { domscript.text = &quot;init();&quot;; } document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(domscript); </script> elegant, flexible (cool!) not well known doesn't work for 3 rd party scripts (unless...)
  • 42. technique 5: script onload <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> var aExamples = [['couple-normal.php', 'Normal Script Src'], ...]; function init() { EFWS.Menu.createMenu('examplesbtn', aExamples); } var domscript = document.createElement('script'); domscript.src = &quot;menu.js&quot;; domscript.onloadDone = false; domscript.onload = function() { if ( ! domscript.onloadDone ) { init(); } domscript.onloadDone = true; }; domscript.onreadystatechange = function() { if ( &quot;loaded&quot; === domscript.readyState ) { if ( ! domscript.onloadDone ) { init(); } domscript.onloadDone = true; } } document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(domscript); </script> pretty nice, medium complexity
  • 43. what about multiple scripts that depend on each other, and inlined code that depends on the scripts? two solutions: Managed XHR DOM Element and Doc Write
  • 44. multiple script example: menutier.js <script src=&quot;menu.js&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;></script> <script src=&quot;menutier.js&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;></script> <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> var aRaceConditions = [['couple-normal.php', 'Normal...]; var aWorkarounds = [['hardcoded-callback.php', 'Hardcod...]; var aMultipleScripts = [['managed-xhr.php', 'Managed XH...]; var aLoadScripts = [['loadscript.php', 'loadScript'], ...]; var aSubmenus = [[&quot;Race Conditions&quot;, aRaceConditions], [&quot;Workarounds&quot;, aWorkarounds], [&quot;Multiple Scripts&quot;, aMultipleScripts], [&quot;General Solution&quot;, aLoadScripts]]; function init() { EFWS.Menu.createTieredMenu('examplesbtn', aSubmenus); } </script>
  • 45. technique 1: managed XHR <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> var aRaceConditions = [['couple-normal.php', 'Normal...]; var aWorkarounds = [['hardcoded-callback.php', 'Hardcod...]; var aMultipleScripts = [['managed-xhr.php', 'Managed XH...]; var aLoadScripts = [['loadscript.php', 'loadScript'], ...]; var aSubmenus = [[&quot;Race Conditions&quot;, aRaceConditions], ...]; function init() { EFWS.Menu.createTieredMenu('examplesbtn', aSubmenus); } EFWS.Script.loadScriptXhrInjection(&quot;menu.js&quot;, null, true); EFWS.Script.loadScriptXhrInjection(&quot;menutier.js&quot;, init, true); </script> XHR Injection asynchronous technique does not preserve order – we have to add that before after
  • 46. EFWS.loadScriptXhrInjection // Load an external script. // Optionally call a callback and preserve order. loadScriptXhrInjection: function(url, onload, bOrder) { var iQ = EFWS.Script.queuedScripts.length; if ( bOrder ) { var qScript = { response: null, onload: onload, done: false }; EFWS.Script.queuedScripts[iQ] = qScript; } var xhrObj = EFWS.Script.getXHRObject(); xhrObj.onreadystatechange = function() { if ( xhrObj.readyState == 4 ) { if ( bOrder ) { EFWS.Script.queuedScripts[iQ].response = xhrObj.responseText; EFWS.Script.injectScripts(); } else { eval(xhrObj.responseText); if ( onload ) { onload(); } } } }; xhrObj.open('GET', url, true); xhrObj.send(''); } process queue (next slide) or... eval now, call callback save response to queue add to queue (if bOrder)
  • 47. EFWS.injectScripts // Process queued scripts to see if any are ready to inject. injectScripts: function() { var len = EFWS.Script.queuedScripts.length; for ( var i = 0; i < len; i++ ) { var qScript = EFWS.Script.queuedScripts[i]; if ( ! qScript.done ) { if ( ! qScript.response ) { // STOP! need to wait for this response break; } else { eval(qScript.response); if ( qScript.onload ) { qScript.onload(); } qScript.done = true; } } } } preserves external script order non-blocking works in all browsers couples with inlined code works with scripts across domains ready for this script, eval and call callback bail – need to wait to preserve order if not yet injected
  • 48. technique 2: DOM Element and Doc Write Firefox & Opera – use Script DOM Element IE – use document.write Script Tag Safari, Chrome – no benefit; rely on Safari 4 and Chrome 2
  • 49. EFWS.loadScripts loadScripts: function(aUrls, onload) { // first pass: see if any of the scripts are on a different domain var nUrls = aUrls.length; var bDifferent = false; for ( var i = 0; i < nUrls; i++ ) { if ( EFWS.Script.differentDomain(aUrls[i]) ) { bDifferent = true; break; } } // pick the best loading function var loadFunc = EFWS.Script.loadScriptXhrInjection; if ( bDifferent ) { if ( -1 != navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Firefox') || -1 != navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Opera') ) { loadFunc = EFWS.Script.loadScriptDomElement; } else { loadFunc = EFWS.Script.loadScriptDocWrite; } } // second pass: load the scripts for ( var i = 0; i < nUrls; i++ ) { loadFunc(aUrls[i], ( i+1 == nUrls ? onload : null ), true); } }
