How do I attach a body onload event with JS in a cross browser way? As simple as this?
document.body.onload = function(){
alert("LOADED!");
}
This takes advantage of DOMContentLoaded - which fires before onload - but allows you to stick in all your unobtrusiveness...
window.onload - Dean Edwards - The blog post talks more about it - and here is the complete code copied from the comments of that same blog.
// Dean Edwards/Matthias Miller/John Resig
function init() {
// quit if this function has already been called
if (arguments.callee.done) return;
// flag this function so we don't do the same thing twice
arguments.callee.done = true;
// kill the timer
if (_timer) clearInterval(_timer);
// do stuff
};
/* for Mozilla/Opera9 */
if (document.addEventListener) {
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", init, false);
}
/* for Internet Explorer */
/*@cc_on @*/
/*@if (@_win32)
document.write("<script id=__ie_onload defer src=javascript:void(0)><\/script>");
var script = document.getElementById("__ie_onload");
script.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (this.readyState == "complete") {
init(); // call the onload handler
}
};
/*@end @*/
/* for Safari */
if (/WebKit/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) { // sniff
var _timer = setInterval(function() {
if (/loaded|complete/.test(document.readyState)) {
init(); // call the onload handler
}
}, 10);
}
/* for other browsers */
window.onload = init;
