Character Counter OnLoad

[unemployment]

How can I make my character counter display how many characters are left on page load.  Right now it only displayed the number of characters left when I user keysup, keysdown or onblurs. 

 

[HIGHLIGHT=JavaScript]

                var companydo = document.getElementById('cscompanydo');

 

function validate_companydo_field_length() {

var len = companydo.value.length;

var mc = 2000;

if (len > mc) {

companydo.value = companydo.value.substring(0,mc);

len = mc;

}

document.getElementById('doremaining').innerHTML = mc - len;

}

 

companydo.onkeyup = validate_companydo_field_length;

companydo.onkeydown = validate_companydo_field_length;

companydo.onblur = validate_companydo_field_length;

<div class="f_right mts mrs"><span id="doremaining" class="mrs">2000</span>characters remaining</div>

window.onload = function() {
  // do something when the page has been loaded.
}

 

I prefer domready using a framework though.

The thing is... I already have it wrapped around an addonload function, so i'm not sure why the character counter value isn't being recognized onload.
