Trying to programitically set the onunload handler on the body.  It appears to 
be ignore if its set programitcally.  Everything *works* if the handler is set 
in the HTML, but this approach is less flexible.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on the above link
2. Follow the instructions on the page

Actual Results:  onunload() handler doesn't get set
Expected Results:  Setting the onunload programtially should work as if its
                   set in the HTML.
