Hello

I'm new to java and dhtml and need some major help.

I'm trying to load two scripts on one page and only one works. I read a tutorial about how to fix this, but I still can't get it right. Something to do with the event handling.
I am supposed to put something like this on my page:
<body onload="dothis();dothat()">

I did this but I still only get the fireworks to work.

The two scripts that I am using are:

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex3/fireworks2.htm

and:

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex10/pulsetext.htm

I may put some more scripts on this page later on, but this will do for right now.

I would greatly appreciate any help I could get as quick as possible.

Thanks

you shouldn't need to use an onload event for either fo those scripts. I placed them both on a page and they worked; though the pulsating text is acting jumpy, but I think that's a resource problem or soemthing...

Well when I put them both on the same page the pulsating text doesn't work right and the green around the text just sits there and doesn't pulsate.

When I have the pulsating text script as the only script on the page it pulsates around the text.

Thats my problem.
Below is a link to how the pulsating text works alone, but it won't work if I put both scripts on the same page.
What am I doin wrong???

So the one you call works, and the other one does not, is that right - but no error is reported? It's like they are using some common function - like when you have a slide function and you call it on one element, before a previous has finshed using it - the first one stops. Is it this kind of problem?

Juts having a loose look at the fireworks code though - it uses document.write()s - which will overwrite anything else written to the page before it. Sorry I can't really help at the moment, if jaredn had no success, I doubt I will!
