How to run a function when the page is loaded?
Taking Darin's answer but jQuery style. (I know the user asked for javascript).
running fiddle
$(document).ready ( function(){
alert('ok');
});
window.onload = codeAddress; should work - here's a demo, and the full code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function codeAddress() {
alert('ok');
}
window.onload = codeAddress;
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html><!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function codeAddress() {
alert('ok');
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="codeAddress();">
</body>
</html>Rather than using jQuery or window.onload, native JavaScript has adopted some great functions since the release of jQuery. All modern browsers now have their own DOM ready function without the use of a jQuery library.
I'd recommend this if you use native Javascript.
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
alert("Ready!");
}, false);
