  1. Both onLoad and onChange client scripts are used to run JavaScript code on the client-side (i.e., in the user's browser,client side), but they have different purposes and triggering conditions.
  2. onLoad Client Script:
    • Trigger condition: Runs when a record form is loaded (opened or refreshed).
    • Purpose: It’s typically used to manipulate the form or perform actions when the form first appears to the user. For example, setting default values or hiding/showing fields.
    • Example: Hiding a field when the form loads.
  3. onChange Client Script:
    • Trigger condition: Runs when the value of a specific field on the form changes.
    • Purpose: It’s used to perform actions based on changes to a particular field, such as validating input or triggering other changes on the form when the field value is modified.
    • Example: Displaying a message or updating other fields when a user selects a value in a dropdown field.
