multiple window.onload function

countdrac · December 5, 2007

i have two window.onload functions im trying to get working but only one will work... im not sure how to get them both working

i think it has to do with the javascript ive written...

function init()
{
getSpeakers();
getCategory();
}
window.onload=init;

function getspeakers()
{....}
function getCategory()
{....}

i dont know what im doing wrong... both functions get some stuff from a db and populate a select box

Have you tried it in the body tag

the reason why both functions are not triggering onload is because you have you functions spelled wrong.

you have this:

function init()
{
getSpeakers();
getCategory();
}
window.onload=init;

function getspeakers()
{....}
function getCategory()
{....}

when you should have this:

function init()
{
getSpeakers();
getCategory();
}
window.onload=init;

function getSpeakers()
{....}
function getCategory()
{....}

It is a simpler capitalization error.

Then use an onload event like or similar to what BenInBlack said.
