Execute JavaScript from Page_Load

[Scott Natwick]

Is there a way to execute a JavaScript from the Page_Load event?

Or alternatively, is there a way to have it execute when the page is loaded?

I am defining the script in the Page_Load event and using the
RegisterStartupFunction to add it to the page. I just need a way to execute
the script when the page loads.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Scott

Look into using the body onload event. This JavaScript event will be fired
once the complete file is sent to the user.

Thanks, Mike.

I appreciate the response.

I tried triggering the function from the "onload" event of the "body," like
you suggested.

However, the message I get is " undefined:NaN". I think maybe the timing is
off or somthing?

If I add a button to the page and have the button call the function, it
works.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks again,
Scott

Scott,

It sounds like the JavaScript function is not being loaded onto the page
before the body tag. To see if this is happening save the page as HTML and
open it up in IE. It it works then, then it is a load problem. Try
registering the script in the page load event.
