I don't think you could use "parent.main_page.onload" I think it would have to be in the page loaded, but I'm just taking a stab in the dark here.

1) You cannot set another page's "onload" handler before it loads.

2) If you set another page's "onload" handler after it loads then the handler will not be called.

3) JavaScript has as a security feature the limitation that y ou cannot mess with other people's documents.

why this script not work?For the same reason that given:

foo = 'fee';
foo = 'fie';

foo equals 'fie' and not 'feefie'. Try

onload = function () {doSomething(); doSomethingElse()}

or

<body onload="doSomething(); doSomethingElse()">
