onload event only fires on top XUL element in Firefox

In Firefox, it seems that you can only hook up onload event handlers for the topmost element of a XUL file. onload event does not fire for the other elements in a XUL file or for any element in an overlay file.

Instead of, 
    <someElement onload="...">

      ...

    </someElement>
use, 
    <someElement>

      <script>...</script>

      ...

    </someElement>

  • Greetings from North Cack-A-Lacky! I enjoyed your thoughts, although I give Firefox even a little more credit than you do, I think ;) See what I mean here: ms internet explorer
