JavaScript Onload Function
Posted: Mon May 30, 2011 4:25 pm
This function will add a function that you give it to a list to be executed when the DOM is done loading.
example useage...
// adds a function to the windows load event. function add_onload (func) { if (typeof window.addEventListener !== 'undefined') { window.addEventListener('load', func, false); } else if (typeof window.attachEvent !== 'undefined') { window.attachEvent('onload', func); } else { if (typeof window.onload !== 'function') { window.onload = func; } else { var old_onload = window.onload; window.onload = function () { old_onload(); func(); } } } }It will work in all browsers, and has a fallback to the old window.onload method in case any of the correct methods are not available.
example useage...
add_onload(function () { alert('test 1'); }); add_onload(function () { alert('test 2'); });Will show the two alerts once the HTML for the page has finished loading.
