In addition to the answer above, there is a far more important difference between the two.
According to my test on iOS, if you load a local page from a WkWebView, hit a link to jump to another page and use the goBack function to go back the previous page, only onpageshow will fire, onload will not.
The pageshow event fires every time the page is loaded whereas the load event doesn’t fire in Firefox 1.5 when the page is loaded from cache.
