basically the title says it.
I need to run this file called songscript.js and i cant remember the code i know its something like <body_onload> im not sure if it's meant to be <body_onload="songscript" for it? It's in my root directory and just needs to run when the page has loaded.

Code: 
/** script.js *///

function call()
{
    alert("Call On Load Page");
}
HTML: 
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script language="javascript" src="script.js"></script>
</head>
<body onload="call()">
Just Call
</body>
</html>

script.js save page in your folder where is store that html page.

Then run & see it.

Basically you just need to put the below html tag within your "<head></head>" tags, it will include the .js file and allow you to access the code in it. You should change the src based on the location of the .js file in relative to the html document that you are accessing it with.

HTML: 
<script language="javascript" src="songscript.js"></script>

Then change your <body> tag so that it has the onload element, like the example below. You will however have to work out which javascript function you need to call, you can work this out by having a look at the code within the songscript.js file.

HTML: 
<body onload="javascript:function_to_call()">

This feature doesn't work right. (I use firefox with the addon of firebug) and it's errored becaue it doesn't know what the function is to call
HTML: 
<body onload="javascript:function_to_call()">

Sorry I made a mistake with my post, you need to put the below html code within the <head></head> tags not the <header></header> tags.

HTML: 
<script language="javascript" src="songscript.js"></script>

erm. i guess so. but also I've been doing something else and when my body loads its gotta load another file. will this stop the javascript from running?? and heres the code

Code: 
var http = getHttpObj();
var checked = 0;

function getHttpObj() {
	if (XMLHttpRequest) {
		return new XMLHttpRequest();
	}
	else {
		var axList = new Array('Msxml2.XMLHttp.5.0', 'Msxml2.XMLHttp.4.0', 'Msxml2.XMLHttp.3.0', 'Msxml2.XMLHttp', 'Microsoft.XMLHttp');
		var axObj;
		
		for (var i = 0; i < axList.length; i++) {
			try {
				axObj = new ActiveXObject(axList[i]);
				return axObj;
			}
			catch (e) {
				continue;
			}
		}
	}
	return false;
}

function switchSong() {
	http.open('GET', 'time_remaining.php?show=true', true);
	http.onreadystatechange = readResponse;
	http.send(null);
}

function readResponse() {
	if ((http.readyState == 4) && (http.status == 200)) {
		var time = parseInt(http.responseText);
		if (time > 0) {
			setTimeout('switchSong()', time + 2 * 1000);
			checked = 0;
		}
		else if (checked < 3) {
			setTimeout('switchSong()', 3 * 1000);
			checked++;
		}
		else {
			setTimeout('switchSong()', 600 * 1000);
		}
		var d = new Date();
		var obj = document.getElementById('songimg');
		obj.src = 'current_song.php?t=' + Date.UTC(d.getFullYear(), d.getMonth(), d.getDate(), d.getHours(), d.getMinutes(), d.getSeconds());
	}
}

I'm not 100% familiar with java, but, when you use:

<script language="javascript" src="songscript.js"></script>

in the <head> section, you tell the client computer to load the javascript file. Then, you need to tell it when to use the functions within, like when a user clicks a button or link, or opens the page:

<body onload="javascript:function_to_call()">

You probably need some documentation for the script to know how to use it exactly.

this script won't just do something automatically, it needs you to code a big gui for it. in other words, it's not right for someone with your level of knowledge.

Should be enough to put next code just after body tag.
HTML: 
<script type="text/javascript" src="songscript.js" />

To work properly, you need to have current_song.php file located on the same directory you have songscript.js and check your php settings are the ones you need to allow that php script work properly.
