Colin Fraser, Yakov Simkin,
Try this simple experiment. In a page place this script and form.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function thispage() {
alert("I am in the original page")
}
</script>
<p> </p>
<form>
<input type="button" value="press here"
onclick="location.href='mytestpage.htm'";thispage()>
</form>
Do not insert the location.href event script until after you are
satisfied the alert works. placing the
The in the page named "mytestpage.htm" insert this script :
<head>
<title>My Test Page</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
function thispage() {
alert("I am in my test page")
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="thispage()">
<h2>Test Page</h2>
</body>
You may want to check the quote marks and make sure the semi-colon is
correct. The answer to your question lies in the results here, however,
this should be very obvious.
