It works in chrome, opera but doesn't get along with Firefox. The whole javascript thing is not applying.
This is directly in my javascript.js:
window.onload = function() {
todo("body", 50);
alert("alert!");
setTimeout(function () {
todo("body", 0);
}, 1000)
}
function todo(element, size) {
//blahblah
}

Even if it doesn't actually solve your problem I'd like to share my findings about replacing event handlers with invalid function calls. I've composed this little fiddle:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>JS Bin</title>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery(function(){
$("body").on("load", function(){
$(this).append("Should not run")
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body onload="doesNotExist()">
</body>
</html>
Firefox, Explorer and Edge actually replace the <body> event handler. However, Chrome ignores the onload="doesNotExist()" and execute previous handler.
In the land of tag soup it's hard to decide which workaround is the correct one but it's definitively a bug that could explain your symptoms.

function load() {
//do stuff
}
and the appropriate
<body onload="load()"> </body>

This runs fine in me. I even tried to create a dummy page with this snippet but could not replicate it.Here is snippet.Since the snippet you shared does not contain jquery , i opt to use same code .
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<script>
window.onload = function(){
_todo({
a:'body',
b:50,
alertFrom:'window.onload'
});
setTimeout(function(){
_todo({
a:'body',
b:0,
alertFrom:'setTimeOut'
});
},1000);
};
function _todo(options){
var a = options.a;
var b = options.b;
var c=options.alertFrom
alert(c +" "+a +" "+b);
};
</script>
</body>
</html>
Also note that there is a importance of semicolon after a function. Here are couple of snapshots Alerting on load
loadingidentifier in the code that you have shown. Do you use that in thetodofunction?onload="loading()"from your<body>tag?onloadand the rest of the code works by pure chance.
