I have a small tool that has social media share buttons on it. The API's for the buttons takes many seconds to load, the tab has a spinning icon and the buttons are visible but not usable. Which is obviously bad.
I am now using the small script below to load the API's after the page has loaded, which i want to keep.
<script>
// Load the share API's once the entire page is loaded.
$(window).bind("load", function() {
$.getScript('js/share.js', function() {});
});
</script>
But I also want to hide the social media button div, until the APIs in the script have been loaded, how can i achieve this?
Make your div display none and then show it after script is loaded using the anonymous callback you already have setup.
HTML:
<div id="socialmedia" class="hide"></div>
CSS:
.hide {
display: none;
}
JS:
$(window).bind("load", function () {
$.getScript('js/share.js',
function () {
$('#socialmedia').removeClass('hide');
}
);
});
