Adding "onunload" JavaScript event handler to body in code-behind

Hi,

I am trying to programatically add an "onunload" event handler to the "body" tag of an ASPX page. I am doing this from a Custom Control located on this page.

To do this, I added "runat=server" to the body tag, which provides me access to it in the code-behind through a HtmlControl. I can then manipulate the Attributes collection, which is what I needed. So far so good.

However, I found out that "runat=server" generates a compilation error (CS1012: Too many characters in character literal) if the "body" tag already has an onunload event handler (in the ASPX code). This is a problem, because I wish that the user of my custom control be free to specify event handlers in the body tag, and my control should simply add its own.

So the question is: Is there a way to use "runat=server" on a body tag with an onunload event handler?

I am using the framework 1.1.

Unfortunately, there are no "RegisterEndScript" methods (similar to "RegisterStartupScript") in the Page class ;-)

Thanks,
Laurent
