I have an issue with using window.onload with Safari. I am trying to
use Microsoft Live maps and it works with Firefox and IE. When I look
at the forums out there, there is a firing issue with window.onload
and safari. Here is the script I am running:

<script src="http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?
v=6" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="javascript/VEMapFunctions.js" type="text/javascript"></
script>
<script type="text/javascript">window.onload = GetMap;</script> //
getmap is in the js script
<title>
XXXXXXXX
</title></head>

<body>
<div id='myMap' style="position: relative; width: 750px; height:
500px;">
</body>


Should I be using something else?

Maybe something that will get you to explain what the issue is.

There is a timing issue with Safari. Safari does not wait until the
page is loaded before running a window.onload. Therefor none of the
information in the VEMapFunctions.js run.

http://ajaxian.com/archives/safari-3-onload-firing-and-bad-timing is
the issue. I don't know javascript well to insert this into the JS I
have currently.

The page you referenced says quite specifically that Safari waits for
all resources to be loaded before firing onload, so you can't blame
that.

If you want to test it, use setTimeout to delay the call to your
function, then see how short the lag needs to be to get reliable
operation, e.g.:

window.onload = function() {
setTimeout('GetMap();', 0);
}

A link to a page would be better.
