window.onload = setPage('a','b');
executes setPage('a','b') and returns the result, null to onload
It is the same as
setPage('a','b');
window.onload = null;
perhaps you need
window.onload = function(){setPage('a','b');}
The parenthesis will cause the function to execute immediately, and the result gets assigned to window.onload. If you need to call a function that takes parameters, then wrap it in an anonymous function:
window.onload = function () {
setPage('a','b');
};
setPage will then only execute when the anonymous function is called (and the anonymous function is assigned to the window.onload).
