adding an event listener 1

[1DMF]

I've been searching for a simple cross-browser way of adding an event listner.

I've found these two methods, which is the best or are both required for cross browser functionality...

obj.attachEvent( 'onload', 'myfunc' );

[b]or[/b]

obj.addEventListener( 'onload', 'myfunc', false );

ok, found that GOAN doesn't work anymore if you use the

http://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js

file, however their

https://ssl.google-analytics.com/ga,js

does work.

so now i'm using this code...

<script type="text/javascript">

var GAscript=null;

function mygat()
{
  if (typeof(_gat) == 'undefined') {
    if(GAscript!=null){
        GAscript.parentNode.removeChild(GAscript);        
    }
    
    GAscript=document.createElement('script')
    GAscript.src='[URL unfurl="true"]https://ssl.google-analytics.com/ga.js'[/URL]
    GAscript.type='text/javascript'
    document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(GAscript)
    window.setTimeout(mygat,1000);
  } 
  else {
    var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXXX-X");
    pageTracker._trackPageview();
  }
}

function addLoadEvent(func) {
  var oldonload = window.onload;
  if (typeof window.onload != 'function') {
    window.onload = func;
  } 
  else {
    window.onload = function() {
      if(oldonload){oldonload();}
      func();
    }
  }
}

addLoadEvent(mygat);

</script>

oh and that also confirms that the onload event does NOT wait for things to load, if it can't get the external scripts or other source files it ignores them and carries on!
