Simple onload for my js.file

Nody · Mar 19, 2008

I am trying figure out how to add body onload for external js file.
All the examples i found are more than i what i need.

Any help would be appreciated.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
...
<SCRIPT src="YourScriptFile.js" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="initialize()"> // where function initialize() must be defined
in YourScriptFile
...
</BODY>
</HTML>

I cannot alter the java script. How can i get the page to load first
and then execute the script. Maybe some type of delay method.

Many Thanks

Please don't quote signatures unless you explicitly refer to them.

I cannot alter the java script.

There is no "java script". Java != JavaScript.

How can i get the page to load first

There is no "page". There is an (X)HTML document instead.

and then execute the script.

If you mean executing the script code in the global execution context
without a method call: Reliably, you cannot.

Maybe some type of delay method.

Maybe not.

I think that your js file will be loaded as part of the loading of the htm.
That may result in the initialization of global variables - I guess you can
not stop that.
You can change the onload call of <body> so that your own function is
executed rather than the original one. In that own function you would have
to mess around with a timer which calls the original function. But I do not
know enough about timers to judge if this can achieve your goal.
