Canvas onload event isn't firing
canvas, html, javascript
Solution
Only the body element (and perhaps iframe) can fire a onload event. Simply put `<script> initializeCanvas(); </script>` after the `<canvas>` tag.
Problem
I can't get the `onload` event to work for a `Canvas` element. Here's the HTML: ``` <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script src="js/main.js"></script> </head> <body> <canvas id="modelZone" onload="initializeCanvas();" width="400" height="300"></canvas> </body> </html> ``` And here's the Javascript in `main.js`: ``` function initializeCanvas(){ alert("hello"); } ``` I know that the HTML is finding `main.js`, because if I change `onload` to `onclick` it works correctly: clicking in the region of the Canvas triggers an alert. So why can't I do this with `onload`?
