how do I automatically execute javascript?

I know of <body onLoad="">, but I just thought maybe there is another way to do it?

html:

<html><head></head><body><div id="test"></div></body></html>

javascript:

<script>(function(){var text = document.getElementById('test').innerHTML;var newtext = text.replace('', '');return newtext;})();</script>

I wanna get the text within “test”, replace certain parts, and then output it to the browser.

Any ideas on how to do it? I’d appreciate any help. Thanks.

If you don’t want to use <body onload> which is good choice in terms of obtrusive javascript, you can separate that and put you code like this:

window.onload = function(){
  // your code here
};
