page loading timer

[damipera]

hi guys! can you point me to the direction where i could find a javascript that tells the speed a page has loaded, preferably in millisecond?(sort of like a timer). i want it to write to that page also. thanks for your help.

Modulo possible complication due to frames etc, at the very top of the page, such as immediately under the script section within the header.

<script type="text/javascript">
var time_s,time_e;
time_s=new Date().getTime();
window.onload=function() {
time_e=new Date().getTime();
alert((time_e-time_s)+" milliseconds");
}
</script>
