I have a template-based site, but would like to add my own Javascript function
calls to the 'onload' attribute of the 'body' tag on certain pages. I know that
this can be done by setting 'onload' as an "editable attribute" in the template.

However, I also have some 3rd-party extensions, such as PopMenuMagic from P7,
that work by modifying 'onload' in the template body tag. I think by setting
this attribute as editable, I will then be preventing changes made to the
template by these extensions from propogating to the pages based on the
template.

Is there any way around this conundrum?

You want to avoide using the body onload event as much as you can for this
very reason...multiple scripts might need to access it.

There are a variety of javascript based options.

I've used this one:

There are tutorials on the PVII site about how to do this.

Thanks, Murray. I had looked at the KB there, but the question for that
solution didn't make it sound like it was related to my problem. Once I found
it, I understood it and will implement it that way.

You're welcome.
