[BNM] Why dosn't IE7 work with window.onload

Thu Nov 13 11:05:06 GMT 2008

it's case sensitive and should be onLoad iirc

I think that won't fire untill everything on the page is loaded. You 
should consider using jQuery and using this instead which fires as soon 
as the dom has loaded.

$(document).ready(function(){
    // do something
});
