You're still not calling it "onload", you're calling it when it's encountered. It's because you were assigning the function result, not the function reference.
Had you done window.onload = uploadFrames; // <-- Assign function reference, no parenthesis you would have been fine. Instead, you were assigning the return value of calling the function to window.onload. window.onload = uploadFrames(); // <-- Incorrect for what you want; Assigning return value TAG On Aug 3, 2007, at 4:46 PM, saiena wrote: > > Got it, now. > > I had to put the window.onload function in a script tag at the very > end of the body rathe rthan in the head. > > -saiena > > > > On Aug 3, 9:31 am, saiena <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Thanks for your reply.
