[Javascript] Handle several window.onload functions

[Guillaume]

Hello Travis, nice to meet you too.

Ok, here is for example, one function i use at the end of a separate 
file.js:

window.onload = init;


Here is another function that is triggered from inside the content page.htm:
<a href="#" onclick="obj.slideTo(0, -200, 1000, -.6); return false;">
I'd like to separate this from the content page, put it in a separate 
.js file and call this using a class="onclick"
Inside the content page the link would then become something like <a 
href="#" class="onclick">
And here is the JavaScript i plan to use:

|function onClickSlide() {
  if (!document.getElementsByTagName) return false;
  var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
  for (var i=0; i < links.length; i++) {
    if (links[i].className.match("onclick")) {
      links[i].onclick = function() {
        |obj.slideTo(0, -200, 1000, -.6);
|        return false;
      }
    }
  }
}
window.onload = ||onClickSlide||;

|

Now i have two window.onload to deal with...

window.onload = init;|
window.onload = ||onClickSlide||;| 


...wich will cancel each other, right ?

I'd like some help, point me to a ressource, or help me to build a 
global window.onload function wich could be

|function globalWindowOnload() {

|window.onload = init;|
window.onload = ||onClickSlide||;| 
|||return false;
     
}
window.onload = ||globalWindowOnload||;

|

This is the very basic concept and i'm sure it won't work this way...
Could help me to refine this idea ?

Thanks.

Guillaume.
