** EDIT **
I'm afraid I wasn't in the right direction - the problem isn't what I asked about.
the Javascript works as it should, it's the PHP that doesn't show what I want it to
on the first run - and I'm stil not sure why.
Sorry for somewhat wasting your time...

I have a form that might or might not already contain data in its fields.
If a user reaches the form and he already has some data in the system,
his ID number, for instance, will appear in the ID field - and a JavaScript function running
onLoad will disable the input field and change its style:
<body onload=runFunction()>
the problem is that it seems to run before the PHP does its part,
and only if I refresh the page, the JS function does everything I want it to
(it disables and styles some other form fields that depend on a PHP condition).
Is there a way to have this JS function run AFTER the page was rendered?
I tried running this before closing the page:
<body>
...
...
<script>
runFunction();
</script>
</body>
</html>
but to no avail.
any ideas?
Thanks!
some of the relevant PHP code: [I removed id attributes to make reading easier]
<?php if ($h_phone != '' && $h_phone_pre != '') {
echo <td class=input><input type=text id=new_user_home_tel value=$h_phone size=8 maxlength=7 disabled=disabled /> -
<select id=new_user_home_tel_pre disabled=disabled>
<option value=$h_phone_pre selected=selected></option>;
} else {
echo '<td class=input><input type=text id=new_user_home_tel size=8 maxlength=7 /> -
<select id=new_user_home_tel_pre>
<option value= selected=selected></option>';
}?> <option value=02>02</option>
<option value=03>03</option>
<option value=04>04</option>
<option value=08>08</option>
<option value=09>09</option>
</select>
</td>
the Javascript code just changes the style if the field isn't empty and that works,
but the PHP works only after a refresh.
