OnLoad events on elements other than BODY ?

[maria.iglesias.19]

Hya,

Is it possible to have onload events on elements other than the body
tag ?

Thanks in advance,
Maria

<img
src = '...jpg'
onload = 'alert(this.src+ " is found");'
onerror = 'alert(this.src+ " is NOT found");'

Does this only work for image elements?
I tried it on a div element and nothing

That was not your first Q, that needed only 1 affirmative example.

What would be the logic or the use?

It is not the loading of an element that is flagged,
but the loading of external data by that element.
And <div> has none.

what's a newsreader? what's a good newsreader? (I am using the google
groups webpage.)

regarding the topic;
I am trying to call a method which calls a number of further methods
upon some event. At the moment I have a <script> ... </script> inside
my html code which calls this function. So I am trying to remove the
script from the html and place it somewhere more appropriate.

[interquoting corrected]

Some Googling about "usenet" will tell you.


Do you agree with that?

"method"?

Do you mean a javascript function with "method"?
Is that all clientside code?

At the moment I have a <script> ... </script> inside
my html code which calls this function. So I am trying to remove the
script from the html and place it somewhere more appropriate.

How can serverside javascript be placed more apropriate
than in the html code?

The linking to a js file like this

<script type='text/javascript' src='xxx.js'></script>

is not necessarily "better/more apropriate",
unless you want to reuse a large chunk of code in different htmls
and want to minimize download time with slow connections.
It even has some caching drawbacks.

It sounds like your best option is to use the body's onload handler.
