window.onload with arguments.

I want to run a function when the page loads, but I don't want to declare it in the body tag.

Code:

<body onload="thisfunc();">

Instead, I'm using window.onload to process it directly in the script. Now, I know that when you call a function with window.onload, you don't use the parentheses, so that the script runs the function, instead of assigining it.

But what if you have a function with arguments? How do you call it with window.onload?

One way would be something like...

Code:

window.onload = new Function("myFunc('x', 'y', 'z');");

function myFunc(a, b, c){
    alert(a + b + c);
}

HTH,
