Hi!

I've got the following code in a website:

 window.onload = resize;
 window.onresize = resize;

 function resize(){
  heightWithoutHeader = (window.innerHeight - 85) + "px"; 
  document.getElementById("haupttabelle").style.height = heightWithoutHeader;
  document.getElementById("navBar").style.height = heightWithoutHeader;
 }

The onresize works fine, but the onload event never fires. I've tried it in Firefox and Chrome and neither of them works.

Thank you for your help and go for the reputation! ;D
