onload event for new page?

[David Ethell]

I've searched past discussions and can't find it. Is there a way to
specify some javascript to run on the loading of a new page?

I used on persons suggestion of searching for child nodes of type
script and doing eval on them, but I'd also like to have a simple
onload in the top element of the new page loaded by AJAX. Something
like:

<code>
<ul id="newpage" class="panel" onload="someFunction();">
<li>content</li>
</ul>
</code>

Any thoughts?

Here's how I implemented this for now...

I modified iui.js to look for an onload attribute after sliding:

<code>
percent = 0;
if (!hasClass(toPage, "dialog"))
fromPage.removeAttribute("selected");
clearInterval(timer);
checkTimer = setInterval(checkOrientAndLocation, 300);
setTimeout(updatePage, 0, toPage, fromPage);
if ( toPage.getAttribute("onload") ) {
eval(toPage.getAttribute("onload"));
}
</code>

Now I can simply put an onload attribute in my page tag per the
previous example. Haven't tested this thoroughly, but it got me past
my current hurdle.
