HTML DOM onload Event

Last Updated : 26 Nov, 2024

The HTML DOM onload event in HTML occurs when an object has been loaded. The onload event is mostly used within the <body> tag, in order to run the script on the web page that will load all the content completely. The onload event can be used to check the user's browser type and browser version and load the version of the web page based on the information. The onload event can also be used for cookies.

In HTML:

<element onload="scriptFile">

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
 <img src="https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/20211113003851/geeks-300x83.png" 
      id="imgid" 
      alt="GFG_logo"
      onload="document.getElementById('pid').innerHTML = 'Image loaded';">
 <p id="pid"></p>
</body>
</html>

Using the addEventListener() method:

object.addEventListener("load", scriptFile);

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
    <img src=
"https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/20211113003851/geeks-300x83.png" 
         id="imgid" alt="GFG_logo">
    <p id="pid"></p>

    <script>
        document.getElementById("imgid")
        .addEventListener("load", GFGFun);
        function GFGFun() {
            document.getElementById("pid")
            .innerHTML = "Image loaded";
        }
    </script>
</body>
</html>

In JavaScript:

object.onload = function(){scriptFile};

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
    <img src="https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/20211113003851/geeks-300x83.png" 
         id="imgid" alt="GFG_logo">
    <p id="pid"></p>
    <script>
        // Set the onload event for the image
        document.getElementById("imgid").onload = function () {
            document.getElementById("pid").innerHTML = "Image loaded";
        };
    </script>
</body>
</html>
