[JS] The onLoad doesn`t trigger !

prem52k · January 12th, 2004, 03:49 AM

Hi All !
This is my first post here.....!
you see as the title mentions... I have two functions that has to respond as soon as the page loads..Picture a scenario that has the following code.

Code:

function siteMsg() {
  window.alert("hello");
}

function pop() {
  window.open('http://www.google.com','newWindow');
}

function all() {
  siteMsg();
  pop();
}

<body onLoad="all()">
bla bla
</body>

if i`m not mistaken this should work perfectly ok...right ?
well it doesn`t, nothing triggers...Does anyone know why, such situations happen ?
thank you.
:)

Works fine for me, have you got all code etc. in corect tags?

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Onload Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
  function siteMsg() {
  window.alert("hello");
}

function pop() {
  window.open('http://www.google.com','newWindow');
}

function all() {
  siteMsg();
  pop();
}  
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="all()">
bla bla
</body>
</html>

Hi !
I found the problem. The glitch was in the onLoad itself...
I was not supposed to use more than one onLoad funtion in a script...
(sorry i haven`t mentioned that i`ve posted only a strip-down version of the source above) I found a anothe 'window.onLoad' in the page, got them sorted !
thanx :)

You can put as many things in the onLoad as you want, they just need to be separated by semi-colons at the end of each "line" of JS.

<body onLoad="alert('Hello');alert('World');">

yes true !
but you shouldn`t add any other onLoad, any where around the page source !
e.g: window.onLoad.

it will not trigger, the best way to over come this problem is to put all of them in one seprated by semi-colons !
