Call function inside a javascript file on Rails

Question

I have a javascript file and inside it there are some functions. I can call them on my rails app view through onclick events like: ...onclick="myFunnyFunction();"... and it works. But now I want to call this myFunnyFunction(); using the onload event like: onload="myFunnyFunction();". Both calls are in the same view file (one in a button and one in a div) and the onclick event work but the onload event don't. The div is showing the html properly so it is loaded.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

If body onload not works mean try this , operations are same

window.onLoad = doStuff()

function doStuff() {
   alert("test")
}

Fiddle Example

you cant do it div onload method but its posible you put script after div it will work

<div id="somid">Some content</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
   yourfunction()
</script>

First of all thanks for your answer. In your case you launch the function when the body is loaded, but I want to launch the function when a particular div is loaded. Is that possible?
