I am using firefox 4.0 and when i use load event on the body element it behaves strange. i have tried some things and some work and some dont. the first is like this
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var load = function(){
alert("body loaded"); //alert not displayed
};
document.body.addEventListener("load",load,false);
</script>
</head>
<body >
</body>
</html>

<he开发者_JAVA百科ad>
<script type="text/javascript">
var load = function(){
alert("body loaded"); //alert displayed
};
</script>
</head>
<body onload="load()">
</body>
</html>
this works now i tried this
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var load = function(){
alert("body loaded"); //alert not displayed
};
document.body.onload=load;
</script>
</head>
<body >
</body>
</html>
this doesnt work. Whats wrong?
as response to Doug D i tried this
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var load = function(){
alert("body loaded"); //alert not displayed
};
document.body.onload=load;
</script>
</body>
</html>
this doesnt work either neither does this work
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var load = function(){
alert("body loaded"); //alert not displayed
};
document.body.onload=load;
</script>
</html>
in the last attempt the body has finished loading
and in the second last attempt body is being loaded
. but this does not work still
The body
can't be accessed in the head until it has been loaded. Your second technique of using the onload attribute is correct. Alternately, I would recommend using jQuery with
$(document).ready(function()
{
alert("body loaded");
});
It is cross-browser compatible. Without jQuery you would need to deal with DOM event differences between IE and others.
