getElementById and onLoad using javascript

Anonymous User 3334 19-Aug-2013
Hi Mindstick!

HTML file ...

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<script type="text/javascript" src="src/myJS.js"></script>
</head>
<body onload="myJS.myFunction();">
<p id="p01"></p>
</body>
</html>
External Javascript file (called myJS.js for convenience) ...
myJS = {
    myFunction: function()
    {
        //This works
        document.write("Hello world. ");
        //This does not work
        document.getElementById("p01").appendChild(document.createTextNode("Hello world, again"));
    }
};

My best guess is that the node p01 has not been created when myJS is executed, but I thought that onload would do the right thing with it.

thanks
