Body Onload Function Question

apd8x · July 9th, 2003, 11:38 AM

I have a JS function that is supposed to be called in the body tag like this:

<body ONLOAD="preloadTopImages();">

Is there a way to call this function without having to put it in the body tag? Can I call it in my JS script in the header tag by making another function that loads this function? Thanks for any help

<script language="Javascript">

</script>

Use the window.onload event. As in:

window.onload = preloadTopImages;

or:

window.onload = function (){
    if (document.images) {
      contract_over = newImage("/test/images/top_nav/contract_vehicl_button_over.gif");
      smallbiz_over = newImage
     }
}

You can just call it in a script block in the header provided that the function is declared above the call to it and it does not reference any parts of the page which have not yet rendered.
