I want to launch a jquery thickbox onload instead of click. for this I use the code below.

<script language="javascript">
    tb_show("HAI","#TB_inline?height=240&amp;width=405&amp;inlineId=hiddenModalContent&amp;modal=true",null);
</script>

Actual link is 

<a href="#TB_inline?height=240&amp;width=405&amp;inlineId=hiddenModalContent&
amp;modal=true" class="thickbox">Change Name</a>

When I click the above link..thick box appears..

but on body onload thick box is not appearing..

Please help regarding this..

Thanks in advance...

Your code should work. Maybe try putting it in a call to jQuery's document.ready e.g. 

<script language="javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        tb_show("HAI","#TB_inline?height=240&amp;width=405&amp;inlineId=hiddenModalContent&amp;modal=true",null);
    });
</script>
