Firefox onscroll

[Simon Wigzell]

Firefox has strange behaviour with onscroll. I have a sample page here:
http://www.dynamicwebsitesystems.com/ScrollTest.htm

If I make this the startup page for the firefox browser or launch it from
Frontpage with Preview then the onscroll works - it calls the doOnScroll
function and posts the alert when you move the scroll bar. It doesn't work
if you go to this page from another page or if you refresh the page. What is
going on here? Any way to make it work all the time?

Thanks!

It's clumsy to display an alert for every event.
I can't test this, but try writing it like this:

<script type="text/javascript">

function doOnScroll()
{
window.onscroll=null;
alert("Scrolled");
}

window.onscroll = doOnScroll;

</script>
