How to Add onLoad JavaScript event in SharePoint?

SharePoint provides a JavaScript array “_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames”, any function to be executed onLoad needs to be added to this array e.g. _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("ExecuteMyFunctionOnLoad"); Now, why does your JavaScript function doesn’t execute if you just register it with ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript? Actually, content pages can’t execute JavaScript function on body load, reason; content pages can’t directly add a function to the body’s OnLoad event if master page contains the <body> element (which is mostly true).

CREATING AND DEPLOYING FEATURE IN MOSS

Image
Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 introduces an inherently portable and modular functionality known as feature, which provides a mechanism for defining site elements. A feature is a package of Windows SharePoint Services elements that can be activated for a specific scope and that helps users accomplish a particular goal or task.

Diff B/w SPSite & SPWeb

SPSite class : SPSite Represents a collection of sites on a virtual server, including a top-level site and all its subsites. Each SPSite object, or site collection, is represented within an SPSiteCollection object that consists of the collection of all site collections on the virtual server. SPSite.OpenWeb Method: Returns the site that is located at the specified server-relative or site-relative URL. SPWeb class : SPWeb Simply represents Windows SharePoint Services Web site. Code sample to create a site: SPSite mySite = new SPSite("http://servername/"); SPWeb myWeb = mySite.AllWebs["Site_Name"]; SPWeb myRootWeb = mySite.RootWeb; Note: SPSite and SPWeb inherit directly from System.Object Calling Dispose ensures all resources used by those objects are immediately released.
