We want to include a maps from Google Maps API in our document. The documentation tells to initialize the map with a function called by the onload() event of the body.
The ordinary way to call:
<body onload="initialize_map();">
This doesn't work out for us because we're using Template::Toolkit and the <body> tag is already included in our wrapper. In short: The <body> tag is already printed when our Javascript code starts running.
I tried something like this but it does only work for onclick, not onload. I guess that's because the Javascript code is beneath the <body> tag itself.
var body = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
body.addEventListener("load", init(), false);
function init() {
alert("it works!");
};
Any help how to fire up a Google Maps map appreciated!
