It's been common practice when coding for Firefox to do this. That it isn't
the same in Chrome I hadn't noticed, see:
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
var event = 'test';
alert(window.event);
window.onload = function() {
alert(window.event);
setTimeout(function() {
alert(window.event);
}, 1000);
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
