Description

In an STML file, <TEMACRO TERMBODY> generates this in the HTML file:
<Body onLoad="SS_SetCursor(document.Surf_Form.F_0_80);">
where the parameter is the first field to put in focus.
And throught the extensions, it's possible to add other
functions:
<TEMACRO TERMBODY 'onUnload="DoThisCoolThing()"'>
But how can I hook to my <b>own onLoad</b> function? It's not
possible to alter SS_SetCursor() so that I could let
it run and call my code from it. Nor can I call my own
onLoad routine which would call SS_SetCursor() because I can't know ahead of time which field will be getting the
focus. (not to mention that if I need VBS, I'm stuck with JScript - well you guys can't implement everything!)

You didn't look closely enough at the SS_SetCursor function-- if you did, you'd notice the call to userLoadScript(targ) :)
If you include a function named userLoadScript(parameter) on the page, it will get called at onLoad time-- the parameter that is passed is the field name currently containing the focus which may or may not be of use to your onLoad function, but it is there anyway.
I believe that the scripting model in IE allows inter-language calls between VBScript and JavaScript...so you might try a VBScript procedure named userLoadScript...
The documentation for TEMACRO TERMBODY was pretty lame-- we updated it slightly and it is in the latest rev of the docs at ftp://ftp.ieinc2.com/pub/surfer/surfdocs.zip (unzip to \screensurfer\hostserver\docs).
Coincidentally, the description of the TEMACRO TERMBODY is the only difference between the docs in this zip and those in the V2 installation program.

Actually, I remember now that I did look at this in
an earlier version of the docs - but couldn't get it
to work. The newer version explains it as you do
above. I just tried that too - it doesn't get called.
<script language="JScript">
function UserLoadScript(cursor_pos)
{
alert ("Call me a code mushroom");
}
</script>

Hmmm--we will reproduce and get a fix out today-- possible work-around is to add a var UserLoadScript in your script block, as our "don't call it if it isn't there" logic may be breaking in IE (tested in Netscape)...

Problem solved.
wE need to watch our CaPs A Little closer:
UserLoadScript() in the comment and docs
is not
userLoadScript() as it's called in SS_SetCursor()
As you know, many coders, including me, mindlessly
cut and pAste.
