This is actually an inappropriate letter to this mailing list.
The topic/scope of this list is defined as:
This is the public mailing list for technical discussion among those
interested in enhancing the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) or
building systems that support HTML. It is explicitly intended
for the collaborative design of new systems, software, protocols,
and documentation which may be useful to the HTML developer community.
Questions of script handling/browser behavior, etc, are best posted
to appropraite newsgroups, such as comp.lang.javascript, or
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html.

However, the value of the variable remains "undefined", that text will show up on the screen when the body is executed. This leads to the conclusion that the onload trigger is not activating the init() function. Is this a problem of the onload trigger event?
