JavaScript page load get value of anchor

Hi,

I have the following HTML and JavaScript code:

what i am trying to do is to alert the value of the field "anchor" when the page loads,

currently it only alerts when the field is clicked,

is it possible to alert when the page loads?

Thanks in Advance,

Niall

Yes it is possible,

But if you want something more CrossBrowser, maybe you should check the jquery library ready event

Bad practice! Behavior shouldn't be mixed in with the document markup.

The original tactic of using:was on the right track, but should be:
Note, no parens!

But I do agree that using jQuery for event handling is great idea.

I agree with Mr Bear, its a bad practice to put javascript on your HTML. Using external js files, will make your code more easy to read , also know as "beautiful code". Hope this complement your original question.

Thanks a lot for the replies,

was thinking about using jQuery and will look into it

Thanks
