Re: Javascript - Onload problem -- WEB400

Brad

(Part 2)

I should have added that I do not believe in sending an infinite number of records to a browser at the same time, so I try to restrict the number of records to those that can be displayed on the screen together. Therefore a further need for a prompt is when there are more records to display which will be retrieved by clicking on Enter. No link is involved here.

You could place JavaScript at the bottom of the web page
that will execute after everything is loaded (well, it
depends on how the browser handles it actually).
Maybe I don't understand... why do you want a pop-up to
display right away before the user goes over a hyperlink?

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

one of a few things...

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. On Sun, 29 Feb 2004 09:07:03 +0000 Rob Dixon <rob.dixon@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

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
