How do I...

I have a link that I would like to automatically execute when a page loads. I can not seem to get the <body onload... to work correctly.

The link is href='javascript:document.apop.changeItem('8','Fun ding','','_')' I have tried every way that I can think of to get this to work but my I have lost all of my hair doing it.

This script dynamically dims a menu choice on a java menu I am using. When the page is loaded I would like to dim the menu item that loaded the page.

The 8 is the menu item, Funding is the button text and the '_' triggers the disable.

Thanks
Eagle

Hi,

I gather your onLoad statement would be something like

<body onLoad="javascript:document.apop.changeItem('8', 'Funding', '_')"> ?

Try changing the onLoad statement to onLoad="javascript:changeItem('8','Funding','_') and see what happens.

Cheers!

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, actually I got it to work by doing the following:

<body topmargin=120 background="Graphics/background.gif" bgcolor="#333399" text="#000000" alink="#FF0000" vlink="#000000" link="#FF0000" onload="init()">

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
function init()
{
parent.left.document.apop.changeItem('1','Home','' ,'_');
parent.left.document.apop.changeItem('2','Staff',' ','body');
parent.left.document.apop.changeItem('3','Hours',' ','body');
parent.left.document.apop.changeItem('4','History' ,'','body');
parent.left.document.apop.changeItem('5','Lunches' ,'','body');
parent.left.document.apop.changeItem('6','Pictures ','','body');
parent.left.document.apop.changeItem('7','News Letters','','body');
parent.left.document.apop.changeItem('8','Funding' ,'','body');
parent.left.document.apop.changeItem('9_1','August Editorial','','_');
parent.left.document.apop.changeItem('10','The Board','','body');
parent.left.document.apop.changeItem('11','Our Mission','','body');
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

This way I can control all of the menu's at one time. Thanks for the help...
