If your current code in the body tag is literally:
onload="getStuff(data)"
then 'data' must be a global variable. You can reference this global
variable directly in any of your JavaScript code. For example:
$(document).ready( function() {
getStuff( data );
});
If that's not exactly what your code looks like, give a more specific
example and it will be easy to come up with some suggestions.
