hi
i know this questions sounds silly, how do i call a javascript function inside the HTML just like that. There is no event handler to invoke that.
<html>
<script>
function test() { alert("hi&quot

; }
</script>
<body>
---
here i have to call the function test
----
</body>
</html>

bye

if you just want the function to run auto then take out the word function and the script will run when the page is loaded
<html>
<script>
{ alert("hi&quot

; }
</script>
<body>
</body>
</html>

You could also call the name of your function later down in the page.

Code:

<body>
<script>
test()
</script>
</body>
