Onload

By Stephen Chapman, About.com

Definition: The onload event is used to define actions to be taken when the web page to which it is attached finishes loading. This is not a reserved word so you can declare your own variable or function called onload but if you do then you will not be able to use this event.
Examples: <body onload="myFunction(this)">
