Javascript function binding issue

Question

before three years I was a javascript guru. After the JQuery release I forgot everything about JavaScript. This may be a great drawback of this framework, for me. LOL

My issue How I bind a function with the onload event of the document? I tried so far is:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var d = document.getElementsByTagName('body');
    d.onload=function(){
        alert('Welcome');
    }
</script>

also I tried document.onload = function() etc etc but none works

It's

window.onload

actually. You don't use the onload property of the body element, nor of the document object.

You can use window.onload function. Some code to explain

function load() {  
    alert("load event detected!");  
  }  
  window.onload = load;
