Remarks
The client loads applications, embedded objects, and images as soon as it encounters the applet, embed, and img objects during parsing. Consequently, the HTMLWindowEvents2::onload event for these objects occurs before the client parses any subsequent objects. To ensure that an event handler receives the HTMLWindowEvents2::onload event for these objects, place the script object that defines the event handler before the object and use the HTMLWindowEvents2::onload attribute in the object to set the handler.
The HTMLWindowEvents2::onload attribute of the body object sets an HTMLWindowEvents2::onload event handler for the window. This technique of calling the window HTMLWindowEvents2::onload event through the body object is overridden by any other means of invoking the window HTMLWindowEvents2::onload event, provided the handlers are in the same script language.
Loads the object for which the event is specified.
To invoke this event, do one of the following:
- Open a document to invoke this event for the document or any object within it.
