Hook a javascript event to page load

rated 0 times [ 40] [ 1] / answers: 1 / hits: 69557 / 15 Years ago, wed, june 3, 2009, 12:00:00

I have an aspx that has the following javascript function being ran during the onload event of the body.

<body onload=startClock();>

However, I'm setting the aspx up to use a master page, so the body tag doesn't exist in the aspx anymore. How do I go about registering the startClock function to run when the page is hit and still have it use a masterpage?

If you don't want to explicitly assign window.onload or use a framework, consider:

<script type=text/javascript>

function startClock(){

    //do onload work

}

if(window.addEventListener) {

    window.addEventListener('load',startClock,false); //W3C

} else {

    window.attachEvent('onload',startClock); //IE

}

</script>
