Unable to access javascript function on <body> from <head>

ryan.mclean

Hello everyone. Hope ya'll had a nice New Year. Anyway, my question
is why won't this work? I must be doing something dumb . . . here is
the code:

in the body tag, I have this code (just to test):

<script LANGUAGE="javas cript">

</script>

in the head section, I have this code:

<script LANGUAGE="javas cript">

</script>

By the way, I know someone will comment, by "does not work, I mean on
the load of the page, the alert is not displayed, nor are any errors.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Have a great day!
Ryan

You should get errors, with script in the head
document.body
should be null so
document.body.o nload
alone should trow an error.
And trying to call
hiThere()
in a script block before the script block that defines the function
hiThere should also cause an error.
If you want to use a function in a script block make sure it is defined
inside the same script block or in an earlier script block.

As for
document.body.o nload=hiThere() ;
you probably want
document.body.o nload=hiThere;
but for most browsers you need
window.onload = hiThere
anyway (of course that works only if the function is already defined).

Thanks for the reply Martin! Duh, I don't know what I was thinking.

What I am trying to do is render a javascript block in asp . . . but
that is a post for another group. I was thinking I could test what I
was trying to accomplish this way.

Anyway, thanks again!

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

by: Oralloy | last post by:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
