How to format two "Body Onload" commands?

Viken Karaguesian

Hello all,

I have a question. I trying to run two Javascripts on my webpage, both
of which need a <body onload> command. They are as follows:

<body onload="runMe()">
<body onload="SwapImgs()">

What would be the proper format to include these on the same line?
would it be:

<body onload="runMe(),SwapImgs()">
or
<body onload="runMe()";"SwapImgs()">

I'd like to get these working together and at the moment, I can't.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Use
<body onload="runMe(); SwapImgs();">
a sequence of statements in JavaScript is separated by a semicolon.

You could also write a function calling those other functions e.g.
<script type="text/javascript">
function init () {
runMe();
SwapImgs();
}
</script>

<body onload="init();">

would it be:

<body onload="runMe(),SwapImgs()">
or
<body onload="runMe()";"SwapImgs()">

Close.
<body onload="runMe();SwapImgs()">

Have you asked your question in comp.lang.JavaScript, if not I recommend you
enquire there too.
