Simple onload event not firing?

Question

Just made a basic program to fin the root of my problem and I can't seem to find why this is not working at all.

HTML

<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="carjava.js"></script>
    </head>
<body onload="hi()">
    hi
</body>

</html>

JS

function hi() {
alert("hi");
}

I want an alert to pop up when the page loads but nothing happens, any ideas?

Answer 1

I can't tell you why it isn't firing, but this should work:

HTML

<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="carjava.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        hi
    </body>
</html>

JS

function hi() {
    alert("hi");
}

window.onload = hi;

Answer 2

following code is working fine for me:

<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="carjava.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
          function hi()
          {
             alert('hi');
          }
        </script>
    </head>
<body onload="hi()">
    hi
</body>

</html>

Its working fine in Firefox & Chrome. Must be something with js file.
