Question

I would like to know if it’s possible to process the code in a particular javascript function that is invoked during page onload in the background.

i.e. few labels and textboxes are sent to the browser by the server. During onload, a function gets invoked to immediately hide them. But, I see that because of using it in onload, the textboxes get displayed in the browser first before being hidden (after everything else on the page has been loaded).

Is there a way by which this can be avoided?

Thanks!

If those elements need to be hidden at page load hide them by applying a display: none css style on the server side. Then later when they need to be shown use javascript.
