OnLoad and Event Handlers

When you start dealing with web applications using more advanced functionality on and through the web, you definately need to learn to speak the sometimes arcane language of Javascript. One of the most entertaining chapters in the "big book of JS" is the one on Event Handlers. If you've spent any time glancing over this chapter, you'll have encountered the mythical "onload".

To master this beast, put down the manual that you've read 2-3 times and pick up the article at: wg:Breaking onload limits where some really smart people are going way beyond traditional thinking about the beast.

I'm consistently impressed by the quality and increasing quantity of FETs these days. Lots of them weigh in at the Comments heading, too.
