    <p>I want to use Google Content Experiments to test different versions of a search bar. The search bar on this site (<a href="http://cookware.lecreuset.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">see here</a>) is part of a JSP file that I am not able to manipulate outside of a complicated and time-consuming process; it is also tied to a CSS file on the server that I can't update.</p> <p>What I can do is use our CMS to add CSS and jQuery, but with the code I have written below, the original search bar still shows for a flash before <strong>visibility: none</strong> hides it, and then the new version displays. </p> <pre><code> &lt;style type="text/css"&gt; #search-box, #search-box form#CatalogSearchForm{visibility: hidden;} &lt;/style&gt; &lt;script src="https://www.google-analytics.com/cx/api.js?experiment=PNsL-7hLRy-zjV_zTZrBLQ"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script&gt; var chosenVariation = cxApi.chooseVariation(); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script&gt; var pageVariations = [ function() {$('#search-box, #search-box form#CatalogSearchForm').css('visibility','visible'); console.log('original');}, function() { $('#search-box button').css({ color: '#fff', 'background-image': 'url(/wcsstore/CVWEB/images/home/search-bar-btn.png)', height: '22px', width: '22px', position: 'absolute', right: '0px' }); $('#search-box').css({ background: 'none', border: '1px solid #000', position: 'relative', width: '190px' }); $('input#searchTerm').css({ 'font-weight': 'bold', 'text-transform': 'uppercase', 'font-size': '11px', }); $('#search-box, #search-box form#CatalogSearchForm').css('visibility','visible'); $('input#searchTerm').val('SEARCH'); $('#search-btn').empty(); console.log('Test1'); }, function() { $('#search-box').css({ 'background-image': 'url(/wcsstore/CVWEB/images/home/search-bg-neutral.png)', }); $('#search-box button#search-btn').css('color', '#fff'); $('#search-box, #search-box form#CatalogSearchForm').css('visibility','visible'); $('input#searchTerm').val('Search'); console.log('Test2'); }, ]; $(document).ready( pageVariations[chosenVariation] ); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>Is there another front-end method I can use to hide the search bar until my script is loaded and the correct version of the search bar can display? Most of the posts I've seen here suggest adding display: none to the actual element via inline CSS but that isn't an option in this case. I did find <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1855998/jquery-how-to-hide-divs-they-are-showing-for-a-split-second-on-page-load?rq=1">this post</a> which brings up a good point about users w/out JS enabled but I will worry about that if I can get the search bar to hide on load.</p> <p>If you look at that same page, you'll see the "L'Atelier" in the navigation - that text is manipulated successfully with CSS/jQuery, and the incorrect text does not flash before the corrected text is loaded. The technique is the same - does the search bar show first because it's a bigger element (more than just text and URL)? This is the code for that piece, which works perfectly</p> <pre><code> &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $(document).ready(function(){ $("ul#links &gt; li:contains('PARTNERS')").addClass("brand-content"); var brandContent = $('ul#links &gt; li.brand-content &gt; a').text(); if (brandContent == 'PARTNERS'){ $('ul#links &gt; li.brand-content &gt; a').text("L’Atelier").attr("href", "/cookware/content_latelier_10151_-1_20002").attr("onClick", "_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','TopLevelNav', 'Click', 'Latelier']);"); } $('ul#links').show(); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;style type="text/css"&gt; ul#links { display: none; } &lt;/style&gt; </code></pre> <p>The site runs jquery 1.3.2, which can't be updated at this time. I am open to all ideas and suggestions on how to achieve this that would be compatible w/ that version of jQuery.</p>

    1. COis the style tag placed in the <head> section? try to make the style there and at the top of the head element in order to get the CSS loaded before the element

    2. COThe quickest way would be to add a style element that contains the rule that hides the element directly to the <head> not using document.ready.

    3. COThe style tag and script are both loaded via a "content spot" in our CMS that is in the body tag...unfortunately, I'm not able to add it to the <head>. Does the text manipulation example I provided work because it's more lightweight vs hiding a form element?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
