Thank you Dave!
I just spent all my afternoon trying to figure out $(document).ready() is too early and how to put up multiple pageLoad() events with Asp.Net ajax .
You Rock!!!

check out Sys.Application.add_load().

Dave,
you mention in your other article that pageLoad() function runs on every partial or regular postback, while the Sys.Application.add_init() wires a function that only executes once. So if i want to have a control that needs to run logic that does need to execute similarly to pageLoad() then how would this work? I might be missing a point here.

Excelent! This is exactly what I’m looking for. I was using pageLoad before only to found out later the the user don’t work if there are several of them in one page. Thanks dave!

I was scratching my head on this very issue. Glad your site popped high in the Google search results. http://www.google.com/search?q=Using+pageLoad+in+both+Master+and+Content&hl=en

Keep in mind that pageLoad() is just a shortcut function. You can wire up as many of them as you want, to arbitrarily named functions, with Sys.Application.add_init().

Hi Dave,

Good post. I think this is a sad limitation of pageLoad that it only works once. Now you solved it for the master-content scenario.

But the same problem happens for user controls in a page. If you want to define the pageLoad in several user controls in the same page this scenario would not solve that. I’m thinking of creating specific pageLoad methods for each control (e.g.: pageLoad_UserControlID) and then also rendering a setTimeout but I don’t like it actually…
