I also am having a problem with the onload event in the body tag not firing, I have read and tried what was proposed to others with the same problem, with no luck. here is a sample of code:

<html>
<head>

<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" onload='alert("here");' style="right-margin:0px;left-margin:0px;">
<script language="JavaScript">
var isNav, isIE;
var coll = "";
var styleObj = "";
if( parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4 ) {if( navigator.appName == "Netscape" )
{isNav = true;;coll = "layers.";styleObj = ".style";}
else {isIE = true;coll = "all.";styleObj = ".style";}
}

var ns = isNav;
var ie = isIE;
var cc = 0;
function getObject(obj) {var theObj;
if( typeof obj == "string" )
{theObj = eval("document." + coll + obj + styleObj);}
else {theObj = obj;}return theObj;}

function doIt(theobj)
{

var thedisplay = getObject(theobj);
if (isIE)
{
if (thedisplay.visibility == "hidden")
{
thedisplay.visibility = "visible";
}
else
{
thedisplay.visibility = "hidden";
}
}
else
{
var theval = eval("document.layers['" + theobj +"'].visibility");
if (theval == "hide")
{
eval("document.layers['" + theobj +"'].visibility = 'show'");
}
else
{
eval("document.layers['" + theobj +"'].visibility = 'hide'");
}
}

}

</script>
