      This function does intentionally nothing.
      But it is included and executed in "page_base.jsp".
      If a page wants to show a popup message after load,
      for example "Storno was successfull",
      this jsp must define a JS function  "afterLoad()"
      which will overwrite the one below.
      The page_base makes sure, that the popup will pop up,
      after the whole page is already displayed.
