Nov 12.2008

?I have a javascript that requires “OnLoad()” witin the Body tag. When I cheked the page in W3C Validator, it pointed this out as an error.

Can anyone help me with how to handle this.

My page is using XHTML 1.0 Transitional DOCTYPE.

Thanks

@Here4hlpauthorNov 12.2008 — Thanks, but I am kind of a bit confused. Where in my document should I place the "document.onload = init;"?

@Here4hlpauthorNov 13.2008 — Thanks once again. I have tried and it does not seem to work.

Following is my script file code:

adImages1 = new Array("graphics/calbanner1.gif","graphics/calbanner2.gif","graphics/calbanner3.gif","graphics/calbanner4.gif")

adImages2 = new Array("graphics/liveworkstudy.jpg","graphics/liveworkstudy1.jpg")

thisAd1 = 0

thisAd2 = 0

imgCt1 = adImages1.length

imgCt2 = adImages2.length

function rotate() {
if (document.images) {
thisAd1++
if (thisAd1 == imgCt1) {
thisAd1 = 0
}
document.adBanner1.src=adImages1[thisAd1]

thisAd2++
if (thisAd2 == imgCt2) {
thisAd2 = 0
}
document.adBanner2.src=adImages2[thisAd2]

setTimeout("rotate()", 3 * 1000)
}
}

function newWindow0() {
cal1Window = window.open("http://gedo.com/", "cal1Win","width=500,height=300,top=10,left=10,resizable=yes")
}

function newWindow1() {
cal2Window = window.open("http://www.myprogram.com/")
}

Where am I to put the "document.onload = rotate"?

window.onload = rotate;

@Here4hlpauthorNov 14.2008 — Thanks a millioin felgall; you've saved me sleepless nights. It wasn't working because the first respondent had suggested "document.onload= rotate" instead.

Kindest regards,

@aj77Nov 28.2008 — is this by any chance related to the idea of a page loading a different image each time the page loads, with the images going in an ordered sequence?

Desperate to find how this is done! This seems related but I can't join it up! Any code?

Success!
