Re: capturing load events II

I have just changed the test file to support the poor Internet Explorer ...

http://dosergio.kit.net/test_LOAD_events.htm

And here comes the surprise:

Even Internet Explorer - that is a bad browser concerning to W3C 
standards - works better than Opera concerning to this point.
Internet Explorer only invokes the load function added on window ONCE, 
what is the CORRECT behavior.
And Internet Explorer alerts when the images are loaded before saying 
that the body was loaded.

Only Opera does the weird mistake of firing the window load object for 
every load event occurred on any document childNodes..."

window.addEventListener must caught only events on DOCUMENT, not from 
its children.

That's why I only use Firefox.
