Well there's three things that I see:
1. You don't have to put the Event.observe() function call in the
onLoad attribute of the <body> tag. You can put it within a script tag
anywhere in your document, though usually between the <head> tags, as
long as it appears within <script> tags.
2. The second parameter is "load" not "onLoad" as you've done it
below. Usually, the parameters for this function conform to the same
names as the attribute without the "on" in front of them. Thus,
"onClick" becomes simply "click" and "onKeyUp" would be simply "keyup".
3. You shouldn't need the "this" keyword when calling your function as
you're not calling an object's method, just a function you've added to
the page. Unless I'm mistaken about your page structure, I suppose, but
in that case, I'm not sure that "this" will refer to the object you want
it to without using the prototype bind() function, for which you can
find more information online.
To be honest, though, I tend to use an anonymous function with my window
loading observations. In that case, you can do something like this:
Event.observe(window, "load", function() {
/* ... put statements here ... */
});
Instead of defining a function and then using observe() to call it.
That's only my style, though, and doesn't have to be yours. Just wanted
you to know about the option.
