If you're anything like me and are working with a lot of Javascript/JQuery within Sharepoint. You will eventually need to run a script after the page loads. So you could add defer="defer" to your script tag, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
You might be tempted to window.onload = yourFunction(). But this will break the way Sharepoint load's it's pages. As Sharepoint also needs to do a lot of things after the page loads.
So the solution is:
Javascript:
window.attachEvent("onload", yourFunction);
So instead of overriding the onload event. You are now adding an event to the queue. Simply replace the "yourFunction" bit with your function name.
Eg:
window.attachEvent("onload", HideBranding);
function HideBranding() {
.....
.....
}
JQuery:
$(window).load(function() {
....
....
});
