Getting the onload event of an iframe

Hello everyone.

For some strange reason, whenever I try to get the onload event of any iframe in an HTA, I get "null" as a response. I've tried altering everything I can think of, but nothing has worked!

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Code: 
<iframe src="[URL unfurl="true"]http://google.com"[/URL] application=yes onload="alert()"></iframe>

<script>
function doit()
{
alert(window.frames[0].onload)
}
</script>

<button onclick="doit()">blah</button>

Yes, however, it isn't just one time I need to access it. At one point in the script, I need to actually change the onload event. I tried this by even writing another iframe with an onload event of alert() and even the document.body.innerHTML showed it printed, but the frame apparently never loaded, even after about 18 minutes.

Maybe we have a misunderstanding of terminology. This is what I mean:

MAIN.HTM
Code: 
<html><body>
<iframe src="onloadtest.htm" 
 frameborder="1" height="100px" width="200"></iframe>
</body></html>

ONLOADTEST.HTM
Code: 
<html>
<body onload="alert('viewed in an iframe')">
I am a frame.
</body></html>
