Can anyone tell me if there is any way of running two or more onload commands at the same time on a single page. And if there is can you show me or direct me in the right direction.

:confused:

<script language="javascript">
function cmdLoad() {

firstStep();

secondStep();

}

function firstStep() {

}

function secondStep() {

}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="cmdLoad()">

</body>

Thanks Shane,

Im assuming if i keep adding the classes ie third, fourth, i can run a fair few onloads at the same time?

Yup, that's correct.

I always did it that way because it's a lot easier to look at, unlike the inline version. (i.e onload="firstStep(); secondStep();")

Is there a limit to how many.. or are the constraints just the loading time...

I don't think there are any limits. It will just affect your loading time.
