stop javascript from executing when the page loads?

Web Programming278
Hello All,

I have a web page that has a link on it to display a JavaScript popup.

</body>

<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="popupmsg.js"></script>

<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="cpw.js"></script>

Is there a way to make this JavaScript not execute when the page loads?

I want the popup to display when the link is depressed only.

Thanks for any ideas

Re:stop javascript from executing when the page loads?

Place a function call at the very beginning of

the "main" js file,

such as:

function On()

and then in your hyperlink add:

onmousedown="On()"

The the script "shouldn't" fire until the

function is "called" by the mouse click

Check your <body>tag for a onload statement, then remove.
