Browser fires this
Onload is a computing term for an event that fires when a webpage, image, or other resource has finished loading in a browser.
Developers use it to trigger scripts that should run only after content is fully available: The onload handler initializes the slideshow once all images have loaded.
It appears as an HTML attribute or JavaScript event listener and is fundamental to ensuring page elements are ready before code attempts to manipulate them.
