using OnLoad in the <body> tag

#1

HI,,

I've got a couple of questions about using Javasript in the <body> tag.

1) can you use "onLoad" to call more than 1 function? If so, how is
this done?

2) I use DW to generate rollover images as buttons. I am trying to set
up a script that would choose random buttons from a pool of button
images, but not sure how I would write the random variable into the
onLoad function in the body tag.

Example: DW generates a function like so (onLoad="MM_preloadImages
('images/pic1.gif','images/pic2.gif', ...) to be called by "onLoad" in
the body tag. If I want the randomly-generated image to be preloaded
this way, I'd have to write a reference to the picture variable to be
included in the MM_preloadImages function. THis is already exhausting
what little cerebral matter is still functioning in my cranium.

don't want to mess around with scripting the "body" tag in a
document.write statement.

can anyone give me any pointers for this dilemma?

thanks muchly,,,

Hi Sez

It is quite easy to call multiple functions on the onLoad event:

onload="function1(); function2();...."

happy coding
