on_loaded javascript not calling other funtions

**GraphicHabit** · 2 May 2007, 08:41 PM

I have this:
/includes/modules/pages/index/on_load_assign.js
with this:

Code:

first_assign();

and I have this:
/includes/modules/pages/index/jscript_assign.js
with this:

Code:

function first_assign() {
  alert('assignments called');
}

When I view the source of my index page I see this:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/modules/pages/index/jscript_assign.js"></script>
</head>
<body id="indexBody" onload="first_assign();">

If I'm reading it right, when my page loads an alert box should pop up that reads "assignments called". But it's not doing that. Any ideas why?

When I change on_load_assign.js to a simple alert function it works fine, but it doesn't seem to be able to call the outside function.

I lied.

I had other stuff in my jscript_assign.js. It didn't look like it would interfere, and my webmaster toolbar didn't flag any javascript errors on the page, but it must have been doing something.

I took out everything so that it exactly mirrored this post and it worked fine. I'm going to add stuff back in now and hopefully it will work.
