Html body tag modification?

Hiya,

Working on a CMS type site at the moment and one of the JS scripts i want to use requires that the <body> element have an onload function for it to function.

Thing is i cannot add the onload function to it as the <body> element is created by the CMS itself, I only have control of the content between the <body></body> elements.

Is it possible to alter the <body> element through js to add the onload part ?

Code:

function init() {
//do stuff
}
window.onload = init;

Also, if you are using a framework such as MooTools or jQuery you'll need to use their methods of hooking into the onload event so as to avoid conflicts.

The CMS uses prototype/scriptaculous.

Event.observe(window, 'load', function() {
//do your stuff
});

(for prototype)

Actually run into another problem with javascript.

Using a chained drill down menu script i need to initiate them using

Code:

initListGroup('category_list', document.csv_genfrm.["csvdata[type]"], document.csv_genfrm.["csvdata[compression]"]);

But because of how my form data is stored (php/sql session) and how i process the data using a foreach loop javascript doesnt like the [] around my form input names.

Is there anyway to get around this, i've tried the usual " etc around the data but it wont work.

never mind figured it out by adding elements["variable[]"] to the javascript
