As asked in the title, what's the first event fired when a web page is loaded to the browser? I believe there are events before window.onload. What are they, and which one is the first fired?

1Is this a trivia question, do you generally want to run some code before `onload`, or do you want to run some code at some specific point before `onload`? – deceze Jul 23 '10 at 03:29

If you're looking to invoke an event handler before onload, DOMContentLoaded is one event that usually fires before.
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', functionRef, false);

Don't know if this helps but firebug/IE Dev Tool is really good for watching JS events execute as the page loads. I use that to caputre events and see the order of how they're happening.
