How many gadgets / developers experienced this problem? Beside the one mentioned (using your favorite js library to register an onload handler on the iframe), what are other workaround? Is there an official fix for this? Is there a bug filed for this?
You've mentioned that the behavior of the onload handler has changed recently; it used to be called from the actual window.load event of the iframe, and now it's called at the end of the body with <script>gadgets.utils.runOnLoadHandlers();</script> How did you find out about this? Through debugging or is there a discussion thread, etc? Thanks!
