Re: [WSG] javascript question - body onload events question

I believe that you need to do something like the following window. { stripe('playlist', '#fff', '#edf3fe'); } atb S Drake, Ted C. wrote: Hi All I've been trying to get a straight answer for this question from our _javascript_ person but haven't gotten it yet. I hope this is on-topic. Many of us are already using the great Zebra Tables from Alistapart.com It requires an onload event for the body tag and to include a link to the _javascript_ file. This in itself is easy enough. However, our current site unfortunately has the body tag in an include. This would mean every page would have the body onload event whether or not it had a link to the _javascript_ file and/or a table worth striping. Here are my questions for you. 1. Does it hurt to have an onload event without a link to the _javascript_? This assumes we add the link on pages that need it. 2. Are there any performance issues if the body onload event is added and the link to the _javascript_ is added, yet the page has no table worth striping? This particular script is common enough to be analyzed. But in general is this an issue? I need to make a decision on this as soon as possible and any help is much appreciated. The pages are html tag soup. We are beginning our conversion with semantic coding of the content and new projects are using XHTML 1.0 transitional. Thanks again. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
