Open Modal Dialog on Page Load of MOSS 2010

Question

Hi All
We are trying to open modal dialog when home page opens on Sharepoint portal 2010
We followed these steps:
1. Created Page
2. Created HTML Form Editor web part
3. Added following code to its source
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
Alert('Shahab');
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("HideNewIcons");
function HideNewIcons(){
  var options=SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions();
options.url='http://servername/sites/itd/SitePages/Test.aspx?IsDlg=1';
options.height = 400;void(SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options))
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("HideNewIcons");
</script>
4. Neither ALERT nor MODAL DIALOG appear.
We are on MOSS 2012. I checked the net and found there might be some issues in 2010. However, it works best on 2007
Is there any other solution?
Regards
SSA

Hi ,
I understand that you want to open a modal dialog on page load in SharePoint 2010. The code Ashish provided works great. But you need to put the code on the page directly by editing the page in SharePoint designer(When putting the code in Content Editor
Web Part ,the modal dialog doesn’t pop up correctly).
Edit the page in SharePoint designer in Advanced Mode.
Browse to the bottom of the code view .
Add the code before the </asp:Content> tab.
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(yourFunction, 'SP.js');
        function yourFunction() {
            var options = { url:
'/_layouts/viewlsts.aspx', title: 'Title, Description, and Icon', width: 640, height: 400 };
             SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
         _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("yourFunction()");
</script>
