           Summary: popstate is fired at the wrong time on load

          Platform: Unspecified

          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

test

When loading a page, the following should not alert:

<!doctype html><script>window.onpopstate = function(event) { alert("onpopstate"); }</script>

because the spec path that leads to the event being fired (http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#read-html "update the session history with the new page") happens before any script execution, so when it's fired, window.onpopstate has not been set yet.  Firefox doesn't alert.

It's less clear to me whether <body onpopstate="alert('test')"> should alert.  I don't think it's intended to, but I have an open question about this (http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2012-August/036926.html).
