asked on
<body> onLoad function not working from javascript src
I have a function:
<head><script lang="javascript">
function doThis()
{
// do some things
}
</script></head>
In my html page I run this function onLoad:
<body onLoad="doThis();">
If I put this function in my <head><script> section right in the html page as shown,it works fine. If I try to put it in an external script file:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/myScripts/doThis.js"
</head>
It doesn't work and I get an 'object not found' message indicating the <body> line. What's up? Please note that I have other scripts in external files and they work fine, just not this one. Is a script not permitted to be external if called from the <body> tag?
