Martin Honnen has already mentionend[1] that it is possible that some
other code overwrites the onload property of the window element.  You
can work around that by registering an event handler[2]:

  window.addEventListener("load", getCart, false);

[1] <mggu7s$12ud$1@adenine.netfront.net>
[2] This will not work in clients which don't implement the DOM Level 2
Event specification, most notably IE 8 and below.
