For some reason unknown to me, my aspx page in VS2003 does not
recognize 'onload' as a valid event for IFRAME. "onload" does not
appear in the context-popup and it gets underlined with squiggly
red in the designer when I try to do this:

<IFRAME id='abc' name='xyz' onload='myHandler()'>
</IFRAME>

I have tried changing the DOCTYPE to 4.01 Frameset but to no
avail. Suggestions gratefully received!

What about putting the onLoad into the <BODY...> element
of whatever gets loaded:
<BODY onLoad='myHandler()'>...</BODY> or
<BODY onLoad="alert(\"I'm rich. I mean I'm loaded\")"></BODY>
and include a src attribute in your <IFRAME>?

Or, if you insist on not having a separate document, you could do:
<IFRAME src="javascript:document.write(
"
<BODY onLoad='frameInit()'>
Hi Mom
<SCRIPT type='text/javascript'>
function frameInit() {
var sq='\\'';
alert('I'+sq+'m rich. I'+sq+'m loaded.');
}
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
");
document.close();">
Shouldn't be displayed
</IFRAME>
