    Hi all! How are you? smiley

    I’m trying to build a plugin but I need it to add a css file and a js file in the head. In a snippet, using $modx->regClientCSS(’somewhere.css’) and $modx->regStartupScript(’somewhereelse.js’) seem to work, but not in a plugin... any ideas?

    I also have to add a call to a js function in the <body onload="..."> attribute, can I do this in a plugin?

    Thanks

        OnWebPagePrerender... but now the question is: on what event I should attempt to register the script? smiley

          Yeah, that’s too late; nothing is going to be injected at that point. Try OnLoadWebDocument instead.
