Onload and load

A

amit

Hello,

the javascript I'm using is not embedded into HTML but included. When I
looking at w3schools.com it uses examples with js embedded into html.

Anyway, when I use:

function load()
{
....
}

The page gets loaded into Firefox and then it executes all statements
inside the function but in IE the function will be totally ignored!
even onload() is ignored.

How should I implement the OnLoad() event in test.js file included in
test.html?

Thanks!
Amit.

The same way you would if you included it in the HTML:

window.onload=someFunction;

Hi Randy

I'm confused! in html we could have:

<html>
<head>
<script type="javascript">
function load()
{
alert("page is loaded ...");
}
</script>

</head>
<body onload="load()">
</body>
</html>

right? now where I should put the "onload="load()" in my code? where
should I call the function?


Thanks.
Amit

That is becoming obvious :)

Did you test the above code?
<html>
<head>
<script type="javascript">
function load()
{
alert("page is loaded ...");
}
Click to expand...

Right here:

window.onload = load;

</script>

</head>
<body onload="load()">
Click to expand...

Remove the onload attribute from the body tag.

You don't put onload="load()" in your external file, you give
window.onload a reference to the function you want to execute, and,
don't use the () on the window.onload statement.

window.onload = someFunctionToRunWhenTheWindowIsLoaded;
