I hope someone can help with what must be a simple query:

How do I put two onload event handlers in the body tag so that they work.

One's for a popup window:

onLoad="popupWin()"

the other to preload images for roll-overs :

onLoad="MM_preloadImages('images/home1.gif',' etc..etc..

Combining the 2 is the problem and I can't find the solution in the 2 JS books I have?

Thanks...

<body oncontextmenu="return false" OnLoad="animate(), randomdir()">

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" background="images/bg4.gif" onLoad="MM_preloadImages('images/home1.gif','images/workshops1.gif','images/bio1.gif','images/sculpture1.gif','images/studio%20tour1.gif')">

and I want to add this onload below to the above..

onLoad="popupWin()"

what you have is not what i have. look at my example again. i have two put functions together in the onload. they are separated by a coma and a space in my example. look again.

so in your case, before the " put a , pupupWin() then the "

Using a comma might work, but it shouldn't. The value of the event handler attribute is supposed to be valid script. Use a semi-colon if you want to be sure that it works on more browsers.

Okay then...on closer inspection it doesn't work as I said it did...so here again is the whole thing if anyone can help.

The code I have now....

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" background="images/bg4.gif" onLoad="MM_preloadImages('images/home1.gif','images/workshops1.gif','images/bio1.gif','images/sculpture1.gif','images/studio%20tour1.gif')">

and i want to add this below to the above so that the roll-overs work and the window pops up when the page loads...

onLoad="popupWin()"

I'm getting an error message and the rollovers won't work the way I combined the 2 at the present.

btw...if it makes any difference, the pop-up script is an external file.

thanks to all

after some testing i see that either a , or a ; will work for me

but if a ; is the correct syntax i change mine to a ;
