I'm impressed that IE doesn't choke on this name collision... and surprised that Firefox is having issues. Typically it is the other way around.

@scunlife, I'm not. `onload` (and other events like `onunload`) are used for defining event handlers. You can call it with `load()`. Naming your function `onload` is a bad idea, as the browser adds a (on)load handler with the function body.
