I’m executing an external script, using a <script> inside <head>.

Now since the script executes before the page has loaded, I can’t access the <body>, among other things. I’d like to execute some JavaScript after the document has been “loaded” (HTML fully downloaded and in-RAM). Are there any events that I can hook onto when my script executes, that will get triggered on page load?

    These solutions will work:

    As mentioned in comments use defer:

    <script src="deferMe.js" defer></script>
    

    or

    <body onload="script();">
    

    or

    document.onload = function ...
    

    or even

    window.onload = function ...
    

    Notes

    • window.onload is considered more standard than document.onload
    • Using defer or window.onload is unobstrusive.
