ondocumentready Event

This document describes technologies available in the Internet Explorer 5 Beta. While we encourage you to evaluate these features and to send us your feedback, please note that these features are subject to change.

Fires when the behavior's containing document has been parsed.

Syntax

<PUBLIC:ATTACH
    EVENT = "ondocumentready"
    HANDLER = sEventHandler
    URN = sURN
/>

Remarks

When dealing with changes to an element's style property, such as setting its visibility, or changing colors or fonts, it is recommended that the changes be made inline in the HTC's <SCRIPT> block, as shown in the following code. Otherwise, making the change in the ondocumentready event handler can cause flashing.
<PUBLIC:HTC>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScript">
   style.color = "green";
   style.letterSpacing = 5;
   :
</SCRIPT>
</PUBLIC:HTC>

Example

The following sample demonstrates basic usage of the ondocumentready event on a page.

<PUBLIC:ATTACH EVENT="ondocumentready" HANDLER="documentready_handler" />

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScript">
function documentready_handler()
{
   window.alert ("The ondocumentready event fired.");
}
