Can onclick and window.onload be used to fire same event?

uncleroydee · Mar 28, 2001

I have an array of three radio buttons that are selected based on whether all, some, or none of an array of checkboxes on the same page are checked. I adapted that page from one named "Checkmate" sent me by a friend named David Elderbrock. Checkmate uses an onclick event handler to toggle through the radio buttons and I would like to add the window.onLoad event to the same script so that the appropriate radio button will be checked based on values written to the checkboxes from a recordset (window.onLoad).

Can it be done? Can I have it both ways? If so, will someone let me know how?

Thanks

Just stick whatever code you want to fire onLoad (presumably the same one that fires w/ onClick ) in your body tag --

<body onLoad="theFunction(args);">

Paul,
That worked perfectly. Thanks.

Now, do you know how I can set a checkbox value to checked using onClick or another event handler when a user writes into a textbox? I have one textbox (comments) on the form with the checkboxes and radio buttons and I'm hoping I can set the value of the checkbox automatically which, in turn, will check the correct radio button.

Thanks again for the help with the first problem.
