Set value of input field after retrieving it using an external script (HTML dom refresh ?)

What I want to do
Get a form using an external script. Prefill and disable some fields. Example:
How I do it
I retrieve a form using an external script(s) :
<!-- Lumesse js imports -->
<!--Apply-->
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://emea3.recruitmentplatform.com/apply-app/static/apply/release/2-LATEST/apply-preloader-namespaced.js"

app/static/themes/release/latest/silk/js/main.js"
th:src="#{https://emea3.recruitmentplatform.com/apply-
app/static/themes/release/latest/silk/js/main.js}"></script>
The code for prefill or disable works fine.:
<!-- custom javascript -->
<script type="text/javascript" th:inline="javascript" >
$(document).ready(function() {
// fix menu when passed
$('.masthead').visibility({
once : false,
onBottomPassed : function() {
$('.fixed.menu').transition('fade in');
$('.navbar-fixed-top').css({'top': '52px'});
},
onBottomPassedReverse : function() {
$('.fixed.menu').transition('fade out');
$('.navbar-fixed-top').css({'top': '75px'});
}
});
// create sidebar and attach to menu open
$('.ui.sidebar').sidebar('attach events', '.toc.item');
window.setTimeout(function(){
preFillForm();
},0);
});
function preFillForm(){
var gegevens = [[${gegevens}]];
for(var id in gegevens){
$("#" + id).val(gegevens[id]);
}
$("#first_name_1").attr('disabled','disabled');
$("#last_name_2").attr('disabled','disabled');
$("#e-mail_address_3").attr('disabled','disabled');
}
</script>
The problem
My fields don't get prefilled .. My guess is because they don't get reloaded or get overwritten ..
First possible solution
After many hours I added a setTimeout of 0. This seems to work. Now I discovered that this only works on a page refresh or when the user already visited the site and did a page refresh before ...
So still when a user go to the site for the first time it doesn't work ..
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers
(PS: setTimeout of more seconds is not the way I want to go ..)
UPDATED
My application is a Spring Boot App. Working with Thymeleaf. Also use of Semantic and Jquery in FrontEnd.

Try using sessionStorage or localStorage (sessionStorage seems to be better in this situation).

jQuery's include method doesn't work

As my website has only one page, and the index.html was getting really long and impossible to read. So I decided to put each section in a different HTML file and use jQuery to included it.
I used jQuery's include in the way as it has been mentioned here to include a external HTML file but apparently it doesn't work for my website. I really don't know what is the problem.
Here is the link of my workspace.
Here is what I am doing in index.html file to include other sections
<script src="./js/jquery-1.11.1.min"></script>
<script>
$(function() {
$("#includedContent").load("./page1.html");
});
</script>
<script>
$(function() {
$("#includedContent").load("./page2.html");
});
</script>
<script>
$(function() {
$("#includedContent").load("./page3.html");
});
</script>
<script>
$(function() {
$("#includedContent").load("./page4.html");
});
</script>
<script>
$(function() {
$("#includedContent").load("./page5.html");
});
</script>
<script>
$(function() {
$("#includedContent").load("./page6.html");
});
</script>
<script>
$(function() {
$("#includedContent").load("./page7.html");
});
</script>
I also used this method to make sure the file is accessible and everything was fine. So the problem is not the accessibility of the files

You are overwriting the contents of #includedContent seven times (see documentation of jQuery.load). With AJAX, there is no guarantee which request will complete first so you will end up with random page content inside the container.
The solution is to create containers for each page and load each page inside its dedicated container, something like this:
<div id="includedContent">
<div class="page1"></div>
<div class="page2"></div>
<div class="page3"></div>
</div>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#includedContent .page1").load("page1.html");
$("#includedContent .page2").load("page2.html");
$("#includedContent .page3").load("page3.html");
});
NB: Having said all that, I do not understand how AJAX solves the problem of the page being too long/impossible to read.

There are several things that look odd to me:
all your load functions run at document ready, which is weird while having all the same target. load replaces (not adds) the content of the selected element with what is being loaded, you probably are trying to add all the html contents, but your current setup would actually just load page7.html into #includedContent
the paths look strange to me, i guess ./ may cause errors, try to leave out ./ everywhere.
rather than loading an entire html page, you might just want to load a piece of that file (i dont know how pageX.html looks), for example you would not want to load the <html> node entirely, rather the content only: .load('page1.html #content')
are you including jquery correctly? there is no .js in your inclusion

caching previous' page jquery instead of current one

I'm importing an external js file right after the opening body
<body>
<script src="http://website.com/jsfile#1"></script>
etc...
</body>
the head includes the following:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script><link rel="stylesheet" href="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquerymobile/1.4.2/jquery.mobile.min.css" /><script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquerymobile/1.4.2/jquery.mobile.min.js"></script>
the script file looks like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(document).on('click', ".clickable", function() {
var o_id = $(this).attr('id');
$('#l_id').val(o_id);
$("#pick_location").attr("action", "pick_contact.php?l_id=" + o_id + "&p_id=" + $('#p_id').attr('value') + "&f_id=" + $('#f_id').attr('value'));
$('#pick_location').submit();
});
});
later I dynamically created clickable divs that trigger the script, e.g.
<?php
echo '<div id ="'.$id.'" class="clickable"><div>test</div></div>';
?>
clicking submits the form and it takes the user to another page very similar again where the user can pretty much do exactly the same thing (the application has to do with selecting stuff in one page, then more stuff in next, etc) as before but with a different script
<script src="jsfile#2"></script>
the problem I'm having is that in that second page the clicked div is triggering the js file jsfile#1 instead of the jsfile#2. So, this caching is giving me a headache. Same results in latest Chrome and Firefox. Can't seem to find anything that works for my problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Sometimes jQuery plugin is not loaded

I am using jQuery a lot, but sometimes I get stuck because my browser cannot see the jQuery library, or maybe loads the library after running the my JavaScript code.
Pseudo-code to explain my question:
<html>
<head>
I always load CSS here
I always load jquery here
</head>
<body>
<p class="link-style3"><span id="my_tag"><span>Bize Hemen Yazın</span></span></p>
<script>
$(function() {
$('#my_tag').click(function(e) {
alert('tesrt');
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
I always put my stuff in the order like below, but this doesn't work now. When I click the <span id="my_tag">, it doesn't do anything, and doesn't return any error.
what should I do?
Here is the entire code jsfiddle

Try to avoid some syntax errors like(suggestable only)
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#my_tag').click(function() {
alert('tesrt');
});
})
</script>
and put your code at the top after you load the js files

A few things you can do:
inspect your document (network pane in devtools) to see if everything
is loading correctly
Move your scripts to the bottom of the page
use $(document).ready(function(){ ... });

Show image while page is loading

My webpage is using some api's together and the total process time for the page to load is around 8 seconds. I want to show a page loading image while the page is loading. Could be like the whole page is dimmed out and an image is shown which represents the page loading and once the page loads i want to go back to my page. How can i show this functionality in a php website?
Little more info:
The page is not even loading until all the visualizations in the page have completely loaded. In other words, the URL of the page is not even changing as soon as the link is clicked. As soon as the link is changing, the webpage is loaded, so any solution or reason why this is happening?
I am actually using GAPI class to get Google analytics feed and using google visualization javascript api to show the images. I am using multiple GAPI for different data parameter calls since one certain combinations wont work in one command...
a sample:
$pie->requestReportData(ga_profile_id,array('browser'),array('pageviews'),'-pageviews','',$start_date,$end_date,$start_index=1,$max_results=50);
$ga->requestReportData(ga_profile_id,array('date'),array('visits','visitors'),'date','',$start_date,$end_date,$start_index=1,$max_results=50);
The values returned are stored in an array and used for google visualization api.
Each of this is stored in seperate files and i am calling them using include ();

Use jQuery...
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#loading").hide();
});
</script>
Right below body start tag put...
<img id="loading" alt="" src="ajax.gif"/>
You can create some ajax loading gifs here... http://www.ajaxload.info/
Add this CSS...
#loading{position:fixed;top:50%;left:50%;z-index:1104;}
Update
Replace with this JS code, leave the googlecode line.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#info").load("info.php");
$("#linechart").load("linechart.php");
$("#piechart").load("piechart.php");
$("#loading").hide();
});
</script>
HTML:
<div id="#info"></div>
<div id="#linechart"></div>
<div id="#piechart"></div>
Hope it helps.

Use the following function:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).load(function()
{
$("#loading").hide();
});
</script>

Well, there are few issues on this path.
First of all, you output html to show loading screen, and run flush() command.
Ensure you do not have any gzip compression in php or apache, as content would not be sent to the browser.
Then, you have to pray that browser would be smart enough to render it and not wait for xxx kb of data till next render.
Anyway, I would invest more time in optimization. Or do a light main page and do the rest of functionality via AJAX.

This is not actually php.
But you can do as follows:
Add the following to the head section:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function wait()
{
if(document.getElementById)
{
document.getElementById('waitpage').style.visibility='hidden';
}
else
{
if(document.layers)
{
document.waitpage.visibility = 'hidden';
}
else
{
document.all.waitpage.style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
}
}
</script>
Change the <body> to <body onLoad="wait();">
and add the following in the beginning of body section:
<div id="waitpage" style="left:0px; top:0px; position:absolute; layer-background-color:white; height:100%; width:100%;">
<table width="100%" height="100%">
<tr>
<td><img src="path-to-image"/></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
