Onload event handler

How many onload event handlers can you have in the below
the <body> tag?

One I suspect, and if so is there a workaround?

Thanks!

Hi,
as many as you like - seperated by ; eg

<body onload="functionOne(); functionTwo();">
or an alternative
<script type="text/javascript">
// your functions
function doIt(){
functionOne();
functionTwo();
}
onload=doIt;
</script>

Both do the same thing

You can also execute any JavaScript functionality when the page loads by
simply not putting your scripting instructions into a function, and placing
your script anywhere in the body of the document.

True - that wouldn't be onload though :)

No, but interestingly, that is how ASP.Net does "onload" scripts (it places
them just before the </form> tag on the page). Using the body onload can be
tricky, depending upon the positioning of your scripts, and what browser
you're using.
