Examples

The following example shows how to declare an onload event for a document that is designed to work with multiple browsers and earlier versions of Internet Explorer.

<!doctype html>
<head>
  <title>Load Event Sample</title>
  <script type="text/javascript">
  function doLoad() {
     alert( "The load event is executing" );
  }
  if ( window.addEventListener ) { 
     window.addEventListener( "load", doLoad, false );
  }
  else 
     if ( window.attachEvent ) { 
        window.attachEvent( "onload", doLoad );
  } else 
        if ( window.onLoad ) {
           window.onload = doLoad;
  }
  </script>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Load Event Sample</h1>
  <p>This sample demonstrates how to execute 
     an event while the document is loading.</p>
</body>
</html>

Notes

Remarks

The client loads applications, embedded objects, and images as soon as it encounters the applet, embed, and img objects during parsing. Consequently, the onload event for these objects occurs before the client parses any subsequent objects. To ensure that an event handler receives the onload event for these objects, place the script object that defines the event handler before the object and use the onload attribute in the object to set the handler. The onload attribute of the body object sets an onload event handler for the window. This technique of calling the window onload event through the body object is overridden by any other means of invoking the window onload event, provided the handlers are in the same script language. Loads the object for which the event is specified. To invoke this event, do one of the following:

Open a document to invoke this event for the document or any object within it.
