object not found onload

vadivasbro

The onload event appears to be firing before all the content of my
window loads or something. In the stripped down example below, my
browser tells me that it cannot find the object "thisThing." What
gives?
<html>
<head>

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = document.getElementById("thisThing").style.backgro und =
"red";
</script>

</head>
<body>
<div id="thisThing" style="height:40px; width:50px;
background:blue">
</div>

</body>
</html>

You've already got answers to that question last time you asked, e.g.

The onload event has nothing to do with your error.
The error is that you're invoking document.getElementById("thisThing")
in the <head> section, before the page loads.

2obvious

yeh...My bad, Dietmar.

I post on Google. Up until its fairly recent changes, a search on my
nickname ("2obvious") would skip me right to my latest post. Now,
apparently, the nickname can be toggled. When I didn't see my latest
post in a search, I assumed there was glitch and that I hadn't posted.
Bad form on my part.

Thanks for the link. Saves me the trouble of redirecting this post to
a correct answer myself.
