sidebar article with slow javascript
hey smart folks, I’m wondering if you have any suggestions for me.
I have a sidebar poll widget that is slowing down the loading of my site. It calls a thirdparty javascript. Ordinarily, I would put the <script src="..." ></script> at the bottom of my page before </body>. This would be easy if I displayed the poll as a single article. But as a homepage sidebar element, I’m not sure if that’s possible.
I don’t want to hardcode the script to be called in <body onload="" > because this poll isn’t a permanent thing.
Is there a way my page template can sniff out and grab the custom field of an article generated from article_custom list and put it somewhere else on the page?
Or, is there way <script src="" ></script> can be asked to wait for the body to be done loading?
thanks for any and all suggestions…

Might be a use case for WEDJE.

Make use of the defer attribute.
