The "onload" event is often placed in the <body> tag, or various other tags.
I'm wanting to run a script when a page is loaded, but unfortunately I can't figure out where to place it in my various pages.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Robert

Every page has a 'script' optional property that you can add. Any javascript added to this field will be executed after the page has been loaded for the 1st time.

Hi Fay,

Yes, I am aware of the JavaScript property.
However, the "onload" command/attribute (whatever) does not stand-alone, it is generally placed inside a tag such as,

<body onload="MyScript()" >

so when the body (document) is loaded, the MyScript function is called.

I need an alternative method of getting my script to run as soon as I open that particular page.

Thanks,

In the script text box just add MyScript();

Do you need it to run before anything else on the page is set up? If so then I don't think there is a way of doing this at the moment (although I would like to look at better scripting support at some point).

Can't you just put your MyScript function in the optional property field and call it from there?

I am not sure which 'pages' you're referring to, but I suspect pages in a Xerte Online Toolkits LO.

Please do realsie that there is only one body element, and that all the content is loaded dynamically, so onload in body wouldn't wordk in this case.
