Re: Javascript - Onload problem -- WEB400

Brad

Many thanks for your help.

What you suggest is what I would like to achieve. I have done the switch setting part, but, without using "onLoad" as part of the <BODY> tag, which I cannot do, how do I get the popup to display before a user has touched the mouse?

Best wishes

Rob

On the onMouseOvers (or whatever you're using to show
popups over anchors) that you're using call a function that
checks to see if this is the first mouseover for this web
page (obviously setting it to false when loaded.)  If
false, display the text, change your text and set to false.

Like I said, I don't quite understand what you mean, but this should give you some ideas.

I am using Javascript to display popups when a user moves
the mouse pointer over a link.  The popups contain
instructions telling the user what options he has and
will vary with the type of link. This works without any
problem. I would like the popup to be displayed with
different text when the page is first loaded.  The
problem is that part of my page is generated by WSG and I
cannot put an "onload" in the <BODY> tag - only after it.
I generate most of the HTML & JS after the <BODY> tag.

If I save the generated HTML and insert the unload after
BODY, it works fine, so what I need is to find another
way of getting the onload to fire.

Has anyone any idea whether I can put the unload
somewhere else or have any suggestions for another way of
getting a popup to appear when the page is first loaded.

I have searched Google and many books without success.

Many thanks
