I've got the following code in a website:
window.onload = resize;
window.onresize = resize;
function resize(){
heightWithoutHeader = (window.innerHeight - 85) + "px";
document.getElementById("main-table").style.height = heightWithoutHeader;
document.getElementById("navigation").style.height = heightWithoutHeader;
}
The onresize
works fine, but the onload
event never fires. I've tried it in Firefox and Chrome and neither of them works.
Thank you for your help and go for the reputation! ;D
Move the window.onload line to the end of the javascript file or after the initial function and it will work:
But it's a best practice if you don't replace the onload too. Instead attach your function to the onload event:
That worked for me and sorry for my english.
I think what's probably happening here is that your
window.onload
is being overridden later, check to make sure that it's not via things like<body onload="">
You can check this by
alert(window.onload)
in your re-size function, to see what's actually attached there.For me,
window.onload
was not working when wrote insidescript type="text/javascript
tag.Instead, needed to write the same in
script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript
tag and it worked fine.This will be work when you call the "window.onload" next to the function resize()
I had this happen when I added 3rd party jQuery code we needed for a partner. I could have easily converted my antiquated window.onload to a jQuery document ready. That said, I wanted to know if there is a modern day, cross browser compatible solution.
There IS!
Know that I know that, I can convert my code to use the jQuery route. And, I will ask our partner to refactor their code so they stop affecting sites.

This works for me, i think your problem is somewhere else:
you can test it yourself here: http://jsfiddle.net/Dzpeg/2/
are you sure its the only event called onLoad ? Maybe an other onLoad event creates a conflict
