Question

I have an app where I need to call some JS in the onLoad event of the BODY tag of two forms. However, I can’t find how to modify the tag for just them. Does anyone know?

inkedmn certainly has provided the right answer for this case, but in general, you can “hand information up” like this:

(in views/controller/view.ctp)

$this->set('bodyAttr', 'onload="something"');

(in views/layouts/default.ctp)

<?php
    if (isset($bodyAttr)) {
        $bodyAttr = " $bodyAttr";
    } else {
        $bodyAttr = null;
    }
?>
<body<?php echo $bodyAttr; ?>>

I often use it like this to add extra classes to a “top level element”:

<?php
    if (!isset($docClass)) {
        $docClass = null;
    }
?>
<div id="doc" class="<?php echo $docClass; ?>">
