Re: onload handler order of firing

Hi Rob



Your quite correct about there being no guarantee of the order in which


the event handlers will be called.  Yesterday I had the opportunity to


test on a windows machine and the body element's onload handler was


called first (the opposite to FF).



The reason that the onload handler defined in the script tag wasn't


invoked in your example was because attachEvent() requires that the


event type is prefixed with 'on'.



Cheers


Adam
