hi, everyone,
I want to ask a question about the javascript "onload". I am writing the JSP page and I use the <%@ include file ="body.jsp". and I use the following statement in the body.jsp.
<table onload="function()">
to load a javascript function, but it doesn't have any action of the page. Is the "onload" can only be used in the body tag? Thank you.
Onload can only be used for <body>, <img>, <script>, <iframe> tags, because it tells you when an external resource (image, script, frame) or the whole page (body) has been loaded
"onLoad" may be used on body- and frameset-tags. To see some action you may use:
<body onload="function(){alert('This is an action!')}">
As the other guys already stated the onLoad event will not fire on a table. What you can do ist attaching the onLoad-handler to the body element (which will then fire, when the page is loaded) and manipulate the table by for example assigning an id to the table.
<body onload="function() { var table = document.getElementById("table-id"); ... }">
<table id="table-id"></table>
</body>
Are you using some javascript framework?
Why not just include it via a <script tag>?
Inside your .jsp file
<script>
window.onload = function() {
alert("Hello Mars!"); // so unoriginal
}
// or to execute some function
window.onload = myFunction();
</script>
