onload event... question

pipjockey

Hi,
I have a file with table with anchors buried in each row. In the body
tag I have

<body onload=highligh t()>

I jump to this file with links from another window like:

<a href=file.htm#r ow200 target='src'> Row200 </a>
<a href=file.htm#r ow500 target='src'> Row500 </a>

If I hit the jump 'ROW200', my browser will open a (src) window and
scroll to the line with the anchor 'row200' and my javascript routine
'highlight()' will parse the location.hash value and highlight the row
as expected.

If I now hit another link such as 'ROW500', to the same file but with a
different hash value, (the window is already open and loaded), the
window will scroll to the proper anchor location, but there is no
'onload' event fired, and therefore the line is not highlighted.

My question, is there an event that I can capture that indicates the
location.hash value has been changed so I can highlight the new row?

I have tried capturing the onscroll event, but that is not fired
either.
I have been developing with Mozilla, but need to support IE as well..

Any ideas??
Thanks

One solution is to put the parameter in the query string of the URL, as
well as the hash:

<a href='file.htm? row=200#row200' target='src'>

The browser will treat any change to the query as a whole new URL and
fire the onload event.

Thanks Paul, unfortunately, these are rather large tables and that
causes the whole file to be loaded again. I got around it by
maintaining a link to the child window and calling the child hightlight
function directly from the parent window. I was hoping to use a
'standard' linkage rather than creating my own, but....

How to tell if the window.onload event has already fired?

by: Brian | last post by:

Hi everyone, I'm writing a function (in javascript) that needs to do one thing if the page has not loaded, and another (different) thing if the page has already loaded. I'm looking for a way to tell if the window.onload event has already fired. I cannot edit the onload event handler itself, and my function can only exist in an external js file, sourced from the document's head section. Any ideas?

adding to a BODY-onload function from within the page

Hello, I am looking for a cross-browser way (Firefox 1+, IE 5.5+) to have my Javascript function execute from the BODY's "onload" method, but if there is already an onload method defined, I would like mine to run immediately after it. So in the code below, what JS would i need to add to my "myfile.inc" page so that I could guarantee this behavior?  <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript">

onload event doesn't work

by: Andy Fish | last post by:

Hi, I have an asp.net web application which uses a pop-up form that works a bit like a dialog box. when the user clicks "OK" it does a postback (basically a form post if you don't know .net) to save the contents of the form, and then I put an onload event to do a window.close. this works fine for hundreds of people on different browsers. However, for one user the window does not close.
