init init

JavaScript API reference for Basic Zoom Viewer.

init()

Starts the initialization of the Basic Zoom Viewer. By this time the container DOM element must be created so that the viewer code can find it by its ID.

If the container element is not a part of the web page layout yet (for example, it may be hidden using display:none style assigned to it), the viewer suspends its initialization process. It does so until the moment when the web page brings the container element back to the layout. When this action occurs, the viewer load resumes automatically.

Call this method only once during the viewer life cycle; subsequent calls are ignored.
