It seems that naming the onload handler "onload" causes problems. This works
just fine in IE.
Test Case:
<html>
<script lang="javascript">
function onload(){
alert("yo!");
}
</script>
<body onload="onload();">
</body>
</html>
Steps:
1) hit the above page
2) see that no alert "yo!" occurs.
3) scratch head
4) look at javascript console
5) see "infinite recursion" message
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1) hit the above page
2) see that no alert "yo!" occurs.
3) scratch head
4) look at javascript console
5) see "infinite recursion" message
Actual Results:
no javascript alert
Expected Results:
should see javascript alert

start JS-console
load testcase
see Error: too much recursion
same testcase can be made replacing 'onload' by 'onclick', or 'onfocus'.

The onload handler on body is the same as window.onload... which is the same as
a function in window scope named onload. That's in Mozilla. What IE does is a
lot more complicated; see comments in bug 201828.
