The onLoad event may work for you, but if you are looking to run a
Javascript function that can't work reliably until the browser has finished
parsing all the Javascript and building its "DOM" for the page being loaded,
then you can't rely on the onLoad event (that apparently is just fired when
the HTML page is loaded). There was a recent article in the Java Report
"Javascripting" column that described this problem. The author suggests
adding a dummy form to the bottom of the page, and then counting the number
of forms to make sure that it has been loaded and parsed correctly, by
checking the length of the forms array (document.forms.length) and using the
setTimeout("functionName", ms) function to "loop" until the length includes
the dummy form. Check the September 2000 issue for details.
