Passing in defaults within window.onload?
I now understand that the following code will not work because I'm assigning window.onload to the result of the function, not the function itself.

What's a good way to parameterize "static" content (e.g. CSS) in a Tomcat webapp?
Some of our CSS files contain parameters that can vary based on the deployment location (dev, QA, prod). For example: background: url(#DOJO_PATH#/dijit/themes...) to avoid hardcoding a path to a particular CDN or locally-hosted Dojo installation. These values are textually substituted with the real values by a deployment script, whe...
