console.log on page reload?

[Tom Campbell]

Working on a single-page app and trying to ensure that only part of the page gets refreshed. Doing some tests using LOAD() that look like this:

file default/new.html:

{{extend 'layout.html'}}

{{=LOAD('default', 'new.load',ajax=True)}}

file default/new.load:

{{if 'message'in globals():}}

<h3>{{=message}}</h3>

{{pass}}

{{=form}}

I added this detection code to web2py_ajax.html:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--

    // These variables are used by the web2py_ajax_init function in web2py_ajax.js (which is loaded below).

    var w2p_ajax_confirm_message = "{{=T('Are you sure you want to delete this object?')}}";

    ...    

 window.onload = function() {

  console.log('RELOADED ' + Date());

};

//--></script>

But the refresh seems to be called every time I choose the action. However, when viewing the console output in Chome I get the hoped-for message starting with:

RELOADED Thu Oct 01 2015 15:36:45 GMT-0700 (PDT)

XHR finished loading: GET "http://127.0.0.1:8000/spa1a/default/new.load"

etc.

What am I doing wrong?

You don't need that, just do this...

<script type="text/javascript">console.log('loaded ' + date())</script>

Thank you, Derek, but I'm still flummoxed. I added this new script tag to web2py_ajax.html:

<script type="text/javascript">console.log('loaded ' + Date.now())</script>

But I'm getting this message even when I use LOAD(). So I'm trying to understand whether I am placing this code in the wrong location or what, because I think it shouldn't be redrawing the page. The XHR record output seems to confirm this.

FWIW the actions are called this way from menu.py:

response.menu = [

        ('Demo', False, '', [

        (T('New task'), False, URL('default', 'new')),

        (T('Show all tasks'), False, URL('default', 'all')),

        ]),

]

put it in new.html not web2py_ajax
