quick question!

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 28.2008

Looking for help with a simple script…

<script type=”text/javascript”>
window.onload=”element.hide(‘popup’);”
</script>

It doesn’t hide my div#popup currently – and I know I’m missing something basic. If you could clue me in that would be nice…thanks in advance.

[code=html]
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=function() {
document.getElementById('popup').style.display='none';
}
</script>
[/code]

[CODE]window.onload=function() {
alert("test");
}
[/CODE]
