I have two pieces of javascript that I am trying to that I want to work on the same page the only problem is that one or the other will work not both together.

One uses a window.onload function to call a bouncing popup page and the other uses a onload function placed in the HTML <body> tag.

I’ve tried calling the scripts separately, merging the 2 scripts but nothing seams to work. I am a beginner using JS and the 2 source codes were taken form JS provider sites

Please help me with this problem.

It may be that the two functions are somehow interfering with each other. If that's not the case, you could try writing a function which calls the other two, and call that function from either onload method. Here's an example of what I mean:
Code: 
function onLoader() {
   yourFunction1();
   yourFunction2();
}
Note that I called the function onLoader, not onLoad. Never use the same name for something of yours as a javascript reserved word. Tracy Dryden
