Simple document.body.onload event should trigger a javascript alert, but doesn't work but it works fine in my text editor -> browser. I switched the libraries around to jQuery to None (pure JS), still nothing, can someone explain to me what's going on and why it doesn't work in fiddle but works fine in my text editor?
This works:
<body>
Why
<script>
document.body.onload = function(){
alert("LOADED!");
}
</script>
</body>
Your first problem:
You have configured JSFiddle to run your JS when the load
event fires.
Consequently, when the load
event fires, you bind another load
event handler.
Your new load
event handler is never called because the load
event has already fired.
Change the menu option to one of the "No Wrap" approaches.
Your second problem:
The load
event fires on the window
object, not the body
element.
You need to assign the property to the right place.
onload = function(){
alert("LOADED!");
}

You code is good, just change your JSFiddle option from this:
onLoad
to this:
No wrap - in <body>
Here is your updated JSFiddle
