(4 comments)Well, that is what it does here. As each onload function listed in the script is encountered, it is executed. Then, it moves on to the next one.
How do keep 3 onload functions from executing at once? I want to execute them sequentially...when one completes execution I want to begin execution of the next one?.
Sure, you would want to enter the name of the function to load, e.g.,[br /][br /]Use this one:[br /]addLoadEvent(yourFunction);[br /][br /]or this one:[br /][br /]addLoadEvent(function() {[br /]yourFunctionHere();[br /]});
addLoadEvent(nameOfSomeFunctionToRunOnPageLoad);[br /]addLoadEvent(function() {[br /] functionHere();[br /]});[br /]That bit at the end seems to imply to my inexperienced mind that I should enter something here.[br /][br /]Not quite sure what to do. Can you help?
