Comment:
Had some trouble locating this section. I was looking at window.on* and trying
to figure out how those event handlers are called. Maybe somewhere near by you
could link to this section. It&apos;s only liked in one place.

    <thetext>If you look up window.onload in the IDL, it links to the table that defines it as an event handler, where the term &quot;event handler&quot; links straight to the section with the definition you&apos;re looking for.

I don&apos;t really understand how to improve this... could you elaborate?</thetext>
