I have the following code in a HTML page:

<body onload="alert('About to call the function'); deadCentre()" style="margin-left: 0; margin-top: 0;">

I stuck in the alert to make sure that the onLoad event was actually being fired but even the alert doesn't show anything. Am I missing something?

This particular page is within a frameset but I didnt think that would be an issue.

Check to make sure that you are not defining the onload handler via javascript somewhere else on the page. It will look something like window.onload = someFunction. You cannot define the onload handler twice on a page, and I believe the javascript definition for the handler always takes priority (which would explain why your inline definition on the body tag would not work)

Lisa, if you don't like your job you don't strike. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American way. - Homer Simpson

That was exactly the problem. Revisiting this page for the first time in years - hadn't spotted the other onload.

Thanks.
