Passing value to JS function through URL on window load

Question

my page http://www.dinomuhic.com/2010/index.php loads the Showreel at the start of the page using an onLoad call in body like this:

Answer 1

if you are using jQuery, why not use the DOM-ready handler instead of onload ? on that note, if it's just an ajax request, you don't even need to wait for DOM-ready. if you parse the query, you should be able to pass that in to your existing function.

// Wait for DOM-ready, may not be needed if you are just
// making a request, up to you to decide :)
$(function() {
    // window.location.search represents the query string for
    // current URL, including the leading '?', so strip it off.
    var query = window.location.search.replace(/^\?/, "");

    // If there is no query, default to '96'
    if ( !query ) {
        query = '96';
    }

    // Call existing function, passing the query value
    sndReq( query );
});

hope that helps! cheers.
