Click button on load event
<body onload='onLoad(); fan();'>...
However inline JS is best avoided and you would do well to begin looking into centralised event management. There are various advantages to this.
An answer I wrote yesterday to another question outlines why this is. Something like jQuery makes this trivial if it's new for you.
$(function() {
$('body').on('load', function() {
onLoad();
fan();
});
});

I have the following javascript -
function onLoad() { if (!(document.applets && document.VLVChart && document.VLVChart.isActive())) { setTimeout('onLoad()', 200); return; } objChart = document.VLVChart; PollEvent(); } function fan() { objChart.reorganize(); }And then when the HTML page is loaded -
<body onLoad="onLoad()">and have a button within the HTML that execute the
fan()function -<input type='button' value='Fan' onClick='fan();'>Is it possible for me to activate the
fan()function within the onload event so that a user does ont have to click the button?EDIT After trying the provided answers, on debugging the code breaks on the line -
objChart.reorganize();Within the
fan()function with the error -SCRIPT5007: Unable to get value of the property 'reorganize': object is null or undefinedThis is odd as when I manually click the button on the page, the function works fine.
Solution After much head scratching I have realised that I was trying to load the
fan()function before the page (and more specifically the objChart) had fully loaded. Hence why adding the function in theonLoadevent was not working. I added asetTimeout-function Fan() { setTimeout(function(){objChart.reorganize();},3000); }
