Hi Joseph: Not as familiar with SVG as I am with Canvas, but I am thinking that you can likely (assuming I interpreted the documentation correctly) hook into the SVG load event. Do investigate this, as I am not sure, but below are a couple of sources. Take a look at SVGLoad, perhaps you can use something like that instead of you doing the checking, leverage if it's valid the callback that's native there.
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/interact.html Then something like: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3883257/loading-svg-into-svgweb-dynamically-with-jquery svg.addEventListener('SVGLoad', function() { svg = this; // this will correctly refer to your SVG root alert('loaded!'); }, false); // also supported: svg.onsvgload = function() { alert('loaded!'); } Best regards, Alfredo On Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 9:33 AM, Joseph Lust <lifeofl...@gmail.com> wrote: > I wanted to ask the community's opinion on the best practice for waiting for > a DOM resource to become available. > > Use Case: > You make an elaborate component via UiBinder or injecting some HTML/SVG into > the DOM and upon executing the following statement trying to access an > element that was injected, the DOM does not see it (i.e. inject 2MB of SVG) > due to DOM parsing lag. > > Work Arounds: > > Schedule recurring timer to check if the element is available and then > continue the program flow (now that the element's accessible in the DOM). > OR Schedule a deferred timer and then continue (less robust, does not always > work). > > So, curious what other folks have been using in this case where the GWT code > must wait to wait for DOM parsing lag time.
