How to fire “onload” event on document in IE

Question

According to this page at MSDN, there's no onload event for document.

You want either window.onload or document.body.onload. These are identical in IE: for historical reasons, actually sets window.onload, so MS decided to make document.body.onload an alias of window.onload.

The problem with this is - as Eric mentioned in the comments - that there doesn't seem to be a way to manually fire window events, which means that there might not be a solution for Eric's problem.
