<script>   function onloadHandler(){     (initialization code here...)   } </script> ... <body onload="onloadHandler()>

To add initialization code that runs when the pages are loaded in JavaScript, create a function in JavaScript that performs the initialization. For example, the following JavaScript code shows a simple skeleton initialization function:

function onloadHandler(){   (initialization code here...) }

To cause the onloadHandler() to trigger when the page is fully loaded, add the event hander function to the onload attribute of the <body> element in the HTML. For example:

<body onload="onloadHandler()> ...
