    function MyFunction() {
     ....................
    }
    </script>
</head>
  <BODY BGCOLOR="white" onload="MyFunction()">

it is working fine with all the browser except IE 11 Compatible Model. When I run the code it show the error

Line: 5
Error: The value of the property 'MyFunction' is null or undefined, not a Function object

Where is `MyFunction` defined ? – Vigneswaran Marimuthu May 05 '15 at 06:58

You could try writing [valid HTML](http://validator.w3.org/nu/) (and providing an example that lets us reproduce the problem, the one in your question is going to error because your function body is a string of periods, stick an alert in there or something instead) – Quentin May 05 '15 at 07:01

This is a terrible practice btw – Capsule May 05 '15 at 07:02
`` after `` ? Name itself indicates that head should be on top of body :P – Vigneswaran Marimuthu May 05 '15 at 07:02
Thanks..changed the code but still same issue is there – Pankaj Saha May 05 '15 at 07:11
And i don't think you need to give `language="javascript"` in script. Check this one - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2267476/html-script-tag-type-or-language-or-omit-both – Vigneswaran Marimuthu May 05 '15 at 07:13
This code works correctly, see http://codepen.io/anon/pen/eNpZqY – Evan Knowles May 05 '15 at 07:16
You shouldn't have to deal with IE not being compatible with correct code. It's their job to make it a decent browser, not yours. – minipif May 05 '15 at 07:48
CORRECT CODE? In what universe do you live to consider `` is correct in 2015? Looks like it's been coded even before Stackoverflow even existed. Jeez. – Capsule May 05 '15 at 23:20
