Thanks guys, I think you have it perfect. Two questions if I may, how would I add say add another 1 second, or another.5 second delay. Is there any way to keep the one google ad where it was before? I may just take that one ad off anyways.
Thank you

Oh, is there anyway to do this without haveing to put two applet codes on the page?
Just keeping one in the body tag?
Thank you

The delay length is set here:

setTimeout(function(){document.getElementById('app').innerHTML = applet;}, 0);

The 0 is the number of milliseconds delay. But that's a little misleading. What 0 does is delay execution until the script interpreter isn't busy with something else. If you were to make it 1000, that would add a 1 second delay on top of that. 5000 would add 5 seconds.

As far as where anything else can go on the page, it shouldn't matter. But if it does, we can probably work that out.

Okay sounds good. What do you have in mind to work out? Do you also have an option for not having the applet code in the head tag?
Thank you

Here is what I woukd like the page to look.

I managed to fix the ad part.

What I meant by:

I meant that if moving other things around on the page caused our current solution to stop working as desired, we could probably work that out. I also meant that I didn't think that moving other things around would be a problem.

Anyways, looks like this thread is resolved, right?

I was hoping there was another solution other than having two applet codes on the page. But this solution looks like it will work great. Who do I pay for it?
Thank you

Or to I just make a donation to any of the links posted?
Thank you

About having two applet codes - the way that works out is that if a user has javascript disabled, they get the second code, things will not load up as you desired, and other scripts will not run, but at least they will still be able to use the applet. With most users (those with javascript enabled), they will get the first code - in the load order that you have set for it.

This is a very common practice in javascript - providing a fall back for non-javascript enabled users via the noscript tag.

However, don't worry about the duplicate code. Regardless of whether or not a given user has javascript enabled, their browser will only have to (be able to) parse one of them.

As for any payment/donation. None is required. I'm always happy when one of my favorite charities gets some help. And if you feel motivated to compensate me directly, you may always donate to my PayPal account. If you want to do that, and need help doing so, let me know. Otherwise, just click on one of the donation links for one of my favorite charities. Or - go merrily on your way. It's all up to you, no payment or donation is required.

Sounds fair, I can you see if I have it setup correctly on this page first:

I have already seen one issue where the applet does not load, when I used the back button, I am willing to try it with the code on for a few days to see what happens. The reason I was hoping I could just get one applet on the page is because I have a huge one on here:http://www.chatpit.com/index.htm

This solution I could not use for that page.
I was thinking 25 and 25 for the current work or I could just give you 50,
Please advise.
Thank you
