Plain JavaScript on-page-load event not working

Question

The question is pretty simple: why is nither of those are working when they should? Tried in latest chrome and FF

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
  alert("window on domcontentready");
}, false);

window.onload = function() {
  alert("window on load");
}

Because you chose `onLoad` in jsFiddle. Change it to `no wrap - in ` — YK1, Feb 26 '14 at 13:10

The JavaScript is loaded on onload (inside jsfiddle), so onload won't fire, because it already fired. Switch onload to no wrap - in <head>.

Create a blank html file and paste in your js, opening the html file will show the alerts. However it doesnt seem to display the alerts in in JSFiddler.
