[thelist] [JS] window.onload is a liar...

Mon Mar 15 20:29:00 CST 2004

I'm guessing it's because <body onload=""> is equivalent to 
document.body.onload() ... haven't double-checked, but
<body onload="alert(document.body.onload)"> returns the same

Not sure what fires the window.onload() handler..
probably navigating to the URL, or the start of page data/loading...
