Cross-browser way to check if document has loaded (vanilla JS)From http://www.jstips.co/en/detect-document-ready-in-pure-js/
// The cross-browser way to check if the document has loaded in pure JavaScript is using readyState.
if (document.readyState === 'complete') {
// The page is fully loaded
}
// You can detect when the document it's ready...
let stateCheck = setInterval(() => {
if (document.readyState === 'complete') {
clearInterval(stateCheck);

What forces layout/reflow. The comprehensive list.

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics
  • elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

this is a reverse-proxy connector that connects nginx to Railo. the files in this example assume that they are located in the same folder as the nginx executable file (i.e. nginx.exe on Windows).the main conf file is nginx-railo.conf which should be passed to nginx as the config file, e.g. nginx -c nginx-railo.confit includes other config files …
#### this is the main config file for nginx, to specify it from the command line, use the -c switch, e.g
#### nginx.exe -c nginx-railo.conf
##** if connecting to Tomcat, use Tomcat's RemoteIpValve to resolve CGI.REMOTE_ADDR, CGI.SERVER_NAME, and CGI.SERVER_PORT_SECURE
