I have javascript function ONLOAD in <BODY ONLOAD=sample()>. How can I unload or disable this function from BUTTON.

What does the function look like? We need to see that to determine if it is possible.

It doesn't sound possible.

Either you are trying to disable the onclick handler, using a button that can only be clicked after the body onload handler has completed...

Or you are trying to disable javascript in the browser, which I don't think you can do.

If the function is in an external JS file, you can create another file with a blank function of the same name and repoint the src of the script statement.

(I'm doing this from memory so bear with me)


<script id='ReplaceableScr' src='LiveScript.js'><script>
<script>
var LiveScr='true';
function ScriptExchange(){
if(LiveScr){
ReplaceableScr.src='DeadScript.js';
LiveScr='false';
SwitchButton.value='Enable Function'}
else {
ReplaceableScr.src='LiveScript.js';
LiveScr='true';
SwitchButton.value='Disable Function'}
</script>
...
<button id='SwitchButton' onclick='ScriptExchange();'>Disable Function</button>...
