showHeader="true" .. urgent help folks !!

Hi Folks,
I am facing an issue. In my Visualforce page, if I specify showHeader="true" and also have a JS function called on the body onload event, the function is not getting invoked.

But it works the otherway when I set the showHeader="false".


Any hints would be helpful,

the body tag is only supported when you have showHeader="false", at which point you can go ahead and use your own <html>, <head> and <body> tags.  If you want to use the salesforce header those tags all get generated for you (notice that if you try to use a <body> or <head> tag with the header on and you view source, you'll get duplicate body or head tags).

So unfortunately right now the only way to specify something on body onload is to take over the page entirely, removing the header.  If you'd like to have a way to append to these functions please create an idea on the idea exchange so we can prioritize it.
