Is it possible to call a function on pageload

Javascript that executes after page load

script type="text/javascript">
function ip(ban, win) {

    var width = 15;
    var height = 10;

    if (newwin) {



}

</script>

<b><input type="button" value="Check" onclick="banow();"/></center></b>

Does anyone know if it is possible and how to make this function start on page load, preferably with a interval? I am new to all this, extra help would be appreciated!

Have you looked into the `window.onload` handler and the `setInterval` function? — Ian Hunter, Aug 07 '12 at 04:33
I wish I knew more about scripting or w/e. I have no clue about how to use the window.onload handler. Any suggestions where to go to learn about it or something? :O — Roger Hippensteel, Aug 07 '12 at 04:36

Something like this should work:

window.onload = function() {
  setTimeout(banow, 2000);
};

You can just use the onload event, apply the onload event to an event listener, or put a () right after the closing curly bracket of your function.

//e.g. 1:
window.onload = function(){
  setTimeout(function(){
    function_to_call();
  }, 1000);
};

//e.g. 3:
window.addEventListener("load", function(){
  setTimeout(function(){
    function_to_call();
  }, 1000);
}, false);


//e.g. 2:
function function_to_call(){

}();

In jQuery:

$(function(){
     // your methods here, will be called after page has been loaded
     setInterval(functionName, 1000); //replace functionName with your function, 1000 is millisecond
});

jQuery is a lightweight "write less, do more" JavaScript library. So you want "write more", ok fine. What's with the attitude anyway? – lorraine batol Aug 07 '12 at 04:41

it's actually in this case not less code... – jeremy Aug 07 '12 at 04:44
