Details

I discovered, while trying a simple javascript, that it is quite easy to create
an infinite loop of popups -- a porn site designer's wet dream.  

This may just be a usability issue, but I don't recommend forcing the user to
endure it.


<script language="javascript">
while (1) { alert("stop that"); }
</script>
  
this isn't a problem with the javascript implementation, since an infinite loop
has it's uses, but should there be a way to break the loop from the user's end
without killing the browser?
