Hi,

I am afraid it is not possible to create your own tags in HTML. However, if you want to call a JavaScript in HTML, you shall define the script with ... and then call it for example as a handler of some event.

This is a sample script i use to show a blinking string:

XML

<script type="text/javascript">
    function doBlink() {
           var blink = document.all.tags("alarm") // <-- GET THE TAGS
           for (var i = 0; i < blink.length; i++)
               blink[i].style.visibility = blink[i].style.visibility == "" ? "hidden" : ""
       }

       function startBlink() {
           if (document.all)
               setInterval("doBlink()", 1000)
       }
         window.onload = startBlink;
   </script>

   ...

   <alarm><asp:Label ID="lblAlert" runat="server" Text="ALARM!"></asp:Label></alarm>

You can use onload function lo call the script. However if you like to use Jquery or some other
then you will get other features which will handle it with more efficient.

Here is one of them

As you were told in solution #1:
"I am afraid it is not possible to create your own tags in HTML."

Sorry, but I am not saying that you can create a new HTML tag instead you can fulfil the purpose to call the script at the time of loading page,

I've no idea what you're sorry for.

Saying "I am not saying that you can create a new HTML tag" is somewhat redundant. You clearly proposed a method of calling arbitrary code upon page load.

The OP then asked how to create a custom tag.

I pointed him/her back to an answer that was already provided (the first answer, in fact!)
