Unfortunately, and that's way too frequent, w3school (which by the  
way is not affiliated with W3C), is wrong:

[[ The onload event occurs when the user agent finishes loading a  
window or all frames within a FRAMESET. This attribute may be used  
with BODY and FRAMESET elements. ]]
-- http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/scripts.html#events

onload cannot, in any standardized version of HTML, be used with the  
<img> element.
