You can write a code snippet something like this :-

window.onload(function(){
//Your JavaScript here
});

And if using JQuery then

document.ready(function(){
//Your JavaScript Here
});

Or you can have all your JS after all the HTML.

you can even use a function called :--

document.onload(function(){
//Your code Here
});

Last but not the least you could even try out this

 <body onload="YourJSMethod();">
        <!-- Some html content -->
    </body>

With JQuery you can shorten it to $(function () { [your code] });

window.onload(function(){}); is incorrect. addEventListener is preferred.

you can try

<body onload="someMethod();">
    <!-- Some html content -->
</body>

This will call your method as soon as body tag of your page is loaded. Alternatively you can make use of jquery's document ready function.

$(document).ready(function() { 
    // your code 
});
