Await libraries, before executing functions with turnOn

This page waits for a thirdparty library to finish loading, then executes a JavaScript function with turnOn and passes a domAttribute as parameter. The executed JavaScript then triggers thirdparty library code, which modifies the DOM element in the page that causes an animation.


In this tutorial you'll learn how to:
  • Include an external library
  • Execute a JavaScript function after the library has finished loading
Look at the element below to see the effect.
