I need to use the window.onload function because There's a difference between "immediately execute this when the parser encounters it" and "run this when the entire page has been loaded" (which is whatĀ onloadĀ does). Sometimes that difference doesn't matter, but sometimes it does - if you need to do things after images have been loaded, for example.Ā

You need to use window.onload as you have done in your SL project 'Location and Population by IP'
