you could do something like this:
place the following in the \< head \> section of your page:
```php
```
then, modify your \< body \> tag to add the onLoad function:
```php
```
hope that works!

Wow, that is a nice script Liam. Did you write that yourself?
Also… you can also define the onLoad command inside the original script instead of the body tag if you wanted to 🙂

Well I don’t have time to test it out, but I take your word it works because I see no point in you posted code you tested, but it didn’t work 😛
:A+: I might find this useful in the future now that I think about it. I appreciate the time you spent to write this 🙂
