In the Selenium reference under verifyAlert I found this: "NOTE:
Selenium does NOT support javascript alerts that are generated in a
page's onload() event handler. In this case a visible dialog WILL be
generated and Selenium will hang until you manually click OK."

Does anyone know of a workaround for this?

I haven't tried this myself, but I seem to recall someone getting around this by delaying the alert using window.setTimeout(), ie. instead of

<body onload='alert("blah")'>
...

you'd do something like

<body onload='window.setTimeout("handleOnload()",0)'>
<script>
function handleOnload() {
alert("blah");
}
</script>
...
