Function does not start by itself (on pageload)

Remco Koffijberg

Hi all,
I would like an animation to autostart on page load. I’m in the Onsen UI V2 JS Splitter example within the ons-template in an ons-page.

I found that adding a script tag between the “/ons-page” and the “/ons-template” tags gets read (this took me quite some time… (-; )

I added this:

document.addEventListener("init", function(event) {
  if (event.target.id == "score.html") {
    Progress1();
  }
}, false);

Nothing happened.

I added this

   setTimeout(function(){ Progress1(); }, 3000);

The function starts! (thank you @Andi ) But only the first time the page is opened. The second time: nothing happens. On reload it usually works (not always).

I added a button that called the function

</ons-toolbar-button>
        </div>
         <div class="right">
        <ons-toolbar-button onclick="Progress1()">
        <ons-icon icon="md-menu"></ons-icon> 
</ons-toolbar-button>

This always works.

Any ideas why the function won’t start and what to do about it?
thanks
Remco

@Remco-Koffijberg Hello! The page is only initialized once, so init event won’t work for you. You can try with show event instead.

Aha, that clarifies something. (-; But it doesn’t do anything though.
