Order of execution

chirs · Sep 15, 2003

I have a small code. It prints 0,1,...,9, but you cannot see the word
"hi". It seems that it prints "hi" then executes the listnum
function. But the listnum function is placed before "hi". Could you
give me some info on order of execution?

<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
function listnum() {
i=0
do {
document.write( i + "<br>")
i++
} while(i<10)
}</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY onload=listnum()>
hi
</BODY>

Thank you.

The onLoad event handler triggers when a page finishes loading. When you
document.write on such a page, you destroy the previous page. You could try
the following:

<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
listnum();
</script>
hi
</body>

Try this,
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Hi<br>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
{
i=0
do {
document.write( i + "<br>")
i++
} while(i<10)
}</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</html>
