impossible to have initialization script in master page content?

[PJ6]

It is apparently impossible to emit a initialization script (that refers to
a specific element) using RegisterClientScriptBlock; if it is emitted
OnLoad, the browser throws an exception that it cannot find the element,
because it's executed client-side before the control is rendered. If I try
it in the control's render, the header has already been rendered, so the
script never makes it to the client.

Emitting the initialization directly in the control's render works fine in
IE, but Firefox apparently ignores inline script so I can't use that
solution.

Is there any way around this problem?

Never mind... FF did execute the script, I just didn't think it did.
