window.onload not working? 1

[tiamat2012]

Hello all,

I'm trying to do some setting of my code with the window.onload function, but its not working. My javascript code is:

[blue]
window.onload
{
    ConvertColumnHands("tlmenu");
}
[/blue]
function send(var addy)
{
 		window.location=addy;
}
      
function ConvertColumnHands(xTableId)
{

 		var cols = document.getElementById(xTableId).getElementsByTagName("td");
   
    for(i=0; i<cols.length; i++)
		{
     		
        cols[i].onmouseover = new Function("this.className='highlight'");
        cols[i].onmouseout = new Function("this.className=''");
          
    }
}
</script>

does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you for your time,

You need to use the correct syntax:

window.onload[!] = function()[/!] {
    ConvertColumnHands("tlmenu");
}

Hope this helps,

Thank you for that correction, but it still doesn't work.

I created a blank new page and inserted only the following code and nothing happened:

<script language="text/javascript">
 
window.onload = function() {
 		alert("hello!");
}
</script>

Sincerely,
Kerry

Try this:

window.onload = alert("hello!");

or

window.onload = ConvertColumnHands("tlmenu");

I tried that, didn't work.

Do any of you have a page where it does work? Is it possible that it's my hosting (I'm using a free hosting service)

If the client has active scripting disabled, you would not get it done. Otherwise the correct syntax [tt]window.onload=function() {alert("hello!");}[/tt] should show up the message. If the client has a text only browser, you cannot get it neither. Otherwise, no other reason I can think of.

This:

<script language="text/javascript">

should be:

<script [!]type[/!]="text/javascript">

Thank you Dan! That was it, I changed the type and it worked right off the bat.

Thank you everyone for the help,
