Little Painful Javascript QuirkMay 14th, 2006 Why doesn't document.getElementById('location').value work as function parameter in Javascript?

For those who STILL can’t see the code, here it is… you can also view source on this page and find it. All I did was replace the ASCII HTML characters.
// Third party script using onload to do its stuff after the page has loaded
window.onload = oldOnload;
function oldOnload() {
alert('oldOnload');
}
var nowOnload = window.onload; // Let's save the existing assignment, if any
window.onload = function () {
// Here is your precious function
// You can call as many functions as you want here;
myOnloadFunction1();
//...
// Now we call old function which was assigned to onLoad, thus playing nice
if(nowOnload != null && typeof(nowOnload) == 'function') {
nowOnload();
}
}
// Your precious function
function myOnloadFunction1() {
alert('myOnloadFunction1');
}
